Think of Crispy Prosciutto as the sophisticated sibling of bacon. When perfectly baked, it's a crispy, salty, and downright heavenly treat. One day, I had some extra slices and decided to bake them up for breakfast – and let me tell you, it was a delicious move! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of prosciutto in its natural state, but there are those rare moments when you find yourself with more prosciutto than you can enjoy fresh. It is a wonderful addition to your breakfast spread, pairs so well with eggs or pancakes, and is delicious on its own.

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, then line the prosciutto slices evenly, ensuring they don't overlap or crowd each other.
Bake for about 10 minutes until the fat turns a golden brown hue, and the ends of the prosciutto begin to curl up. For more uniform cooking, consider turning the baking sheet halfway through, depending on your oven.
Remove the crispy prosciutto from the oven and transfer it to paper towels to drain. As it cools, the prosciutto will become even crispier.
Enjoy it while it's warm alongside your favorite breakfast.

Notes

To ensure your prosciutto cools and crisps up beautifully, place it on paper towels after baking. The paper towels will absorb excess grease and help maintain its crispiness. Keep a close eye on the prosciutto as it bakes since oven temperatures can vary. Depending on your oven, the cooking time may be slightly more or less than the suggested 10 minutes. Aim for that perfect golden brown and curled texture without any burning. If you're preparing a larger batch, consider using multiple baking sheets or baking in batches to ensure even cooking and that each slice becomes perfectly crispy.
