Toast with white bean spread and mozzarella
White beans with tomato sauce is one of those English staples but serve a white bean spread on toast with prosciuto and mozzarella and you have a whole new version of this classic in your hands!
Toast with white bean spread, prosciutto and mozzarella
It might not be your average kind of sandwich but this quick lunch is super delicious. The white bean spread makes the whole sandwich come together and it is super easy to make. I would even go as far as to say you really don’t need a recipe for it.
Making the sandwich
For making the toast with white bean spread you first need bread of course. I like to use sour dough if that is available and because sour dough does get stale a bit quicker then commercial bread it is also perfect for toasting. So for this recipe I have used pretty old bread.
If you’re not into beans at all, it is easy to replace this with – for instance – hummus or muhammara. Or any other kind of spread. But I did think the white beans where surprising so I would urge you to try it. Do make sure to season the beans properly by adding salt, pepper and a good extra virgin olive oil.
Buffalo mozzarella
For me the only two kinds of mozzarella that are worth trying are buffalo mozzarella or burrata. In this case I went with the buffalo, but if you prefer the regular you can of course use that. But once you’re used to real buffalo mozzarella you will never look back. You’ve been warned.
Serve the toast with white bean spread with a bit of extra olive oil and enjoy!
