- Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for about 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool slightly.
- Prepare the mozzarella by slicing it into thin rounds or tearing it into bite-sized pieces, ensuring it is well-drained and patted dry.
- Assemble the crostini by placing a slice of mozzarella on each toasted bread round.
- Add a slice of beef prosciutto over the mozzarella, slightly ruffling or folding it for visual appeal.
