Prepare Bruschetta Saltimbocca using a blender
- Start by preheating your grill or broiler.
- While the grill is heating, prepare the tomato mixture. Cut the tomato into quarters and remove the seeds. Place the tomato pieces in the blender, add a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Blend until you have a smooth puree.
- Brush each slice of bread with olive oil on both sides and place them on the grill. Grill each side until they are toasted and have nice grill marks.
- Once the bread is grilled, rub one side of each slice with the peeled garlic clove. This will give the bread a subtle garlic flavor.
- Spread a layer of the tomato puree on the garlic-rubbed side of each bread slice.
- Top each slice with two slices of prosciutto, two sage leaves, and two slices of mozzarella cheese.
- Place the topped bread slices back on the grill, lower the heat, and cover. Cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the Bruschetta Saltimbocca immediately while the cheese is still warm and melty.
