Olive oil spray (optional)
Paper towels, for draining

Shaved Parmesan
Drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Prepare: Line a plate with paper towels.
- Heat: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat (no oil needed).
- Crisp: Lay the prosciutto slices flat and cook for 1 minute per side, until golden and curled.
- Cool: Transfer to paper towels and let cool they’ll crisp further as they rest.
