Brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil.
In a bowl, whisk together ricotta, honey, truffle oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Spread the whipped ricotta evenly over the sourdough halves. Layer torn prosciutto over the top, then sprinkle with shredded Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
Place the halves in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy, the cheese is slightly melted, and the prosciutto crisps up.
Add lightly dressed arugula, crushed pistachios, a drizzle of honey, and finish with flaky salt.
Slice into strips and serve immediately.
Make sure to use fresh ricotta for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of truffle oil to your taste preference, as it can be quite strong.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the bread in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until crispy.
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, you can use any sturdy bread like ciabatta or baguette. Just make sure it can hold the toppings well.
What can I substitute for truffle oil?
If you don’t have truffle oil, you can omit it or use a drizzle of olive oil with a pinch of truffle salt for a similar flavor.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can prepare the whipped ricotta and toppings in advance. Assemble and air fry just before serving.
What can I use instead of prosciutto?
You can use thinly sliced ham, pancetta, or even smoked salmon as a substitute.
Is there a vegetarian version of this recipe?
Yes, you can skip the prosciutto and add more arugula or roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option.
