Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf sourdough bread
olive oil , for drizzling
18 slices serrano ham
200g best-quality feta cheese
40 black Greek olives , such as Kalamata
handful rocket leaves
1 tbsp good-quality honey

Steps:

  • The crostini should be made no more than 15 mins in advance. Slice the bread about ½in thick and brush on some olive oil. Heat a griddle pan and grill the bread in batches until the outsides are crisp and attractively marked by the grill, and the insides are still soft.
  • Drape the ham over the largest platter you have - don't lay it flat, allow it to billow slightly. Break the feta by hand into irregular chunks about the size of a walnut, then dot over the ham. Randomly place the olives on the ham and carefully place the rocket leaves across the platter. Just before your guests tuck in, carefully drizzle over a little olive oil followed by the honey. Put the crostini on a separate platter or in a bowl, and serve alongside the salad at the table.
