If there's one recipe that you NEED to try this summer, it's this Viral Watermelon Sandwich. Don't knock it until you try it; this sandwich replaces the bread with thick-cut slices of watermelon for a juicy summertime sandwich that is a little sweet, a little salty, and all-around delicious. My version is filled with thin slices of prosciutto, creamy burrata, and lots of fresh basil for the perfect balance of flavors.
Equipment
- 1 Sharp Knife this is essential for cutting the watermelon - I love this one!
- 1 Cutting Board this sandwich is messy, so I recommend preparing it on a cutting board!
Ingredients
- 2 4x4 Slices Watermelon cut into large, square slices, approximately 1 inch thick
- 3 Pieces Prosciutto folded
- 1 Ball Burrata
- 2 Dill Pickles or Cornichons chopped
- 1 Small Handful Fresh Basil
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Balsamic Glaze
Instructions
- To make this watermelon sandwich, start by preparing the watermelon. Slice the watermelon in half, then remove the rind and slice it into 2, 4x4 pieces, approximately 1 inch thick. If you are unsure of how to do this, refer to the video above!
- Next, lay the slices of watermelon onto a cutting board.
- Top one half of the watermelon with the slices of prosciutto, layering and folding them as necessary to fit on top of the watermelon.
- Then, layer the pickles on top of the prosciutto, followed by the fresh basil and the burrata.
- Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic on top of the sandwich.
- Finally, top with the remaining slice of watermelon. Slice the sandwich in half, then serve and enjoy
