  • 8 slices of prosciutto
  • ⅓ cup light mayo
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 small watermelon (you will have leftovers)
  • ½ pound halloumi cheese1/2 cup arugula
  • 4 slices good-quality multi-grain brain, toasted
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place prosciutto on a baking in one single layer. Bake until crispy, about 8 minutes. Be sure to watch carefully as it has a tendency to burn.
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayo, zest and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cut watermelon into ½ inch slices, make the pieces large enough to fit onto the bread in one single layer.
  4. Cut halloumi cheese into horizontal slices. Heat a medium non-stick pan to a medium heat. Add cheese, cook until golden brown on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  5. Spread bread with mayo. Top with seared halloumi cheese, followed by watermelon, then arugula and finally the prosciutto.
