I recommend that you take great care in draining your mozzarella and perhaps take it out maybe 30 minutes to an hour before to drain, pat it dry and leave it to seep its liquids on paper towels for a while. If you aren&#8217;t careful with the water in the cheese, you might have soggy bottom results, which to be honest isn&#8217;t the end of the world &#8211; the top will stay cripsy, but crispness on both sides of these <em>piadinas<\/em> is the goal. Also, I love <em>Prosciutto di San Daniele<\/em> &#8211; it&#8217;s my favourite, but you can use whatever you like. Salami could also work here &#8211; use what you have or what you love, but if you&#8217;ve never tried <em>Prosciutto di San Daniele<\/em> before, then let this be your excuse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Prosciutto-Mozzarella-Piadinas-Closeup.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Piadina slices with the browned, melted mozzarella hanging out of the sides\" class=\"wp-image-2259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Prosciutto-Mozzarella-Piadinas-Closeup.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Prosciutto-Mozzarella-Piadinas-Closeup.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Prosciutto-Mozzarella-Piadinas-Closeup.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Prosciutto-Mozzarella-Piadinas-Closeup.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.-Prosciutto-Mozzarella-Piadinas-Closeup.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You will need two baking trays for this recipe of roughly the same size as well as some non-stick baking paper. Also, you will possibly find that the cheese has oozed and gone everywhere when you take these out of the oven. It&#8217;s ok. Some browned cheese is a flavourful addition to the mix and simple use a spatula to get it back into the sandwich or at least on the plate. Messy and delicious &#8211; we&#8217;re not working towards perfection here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you want to feed more people, this is an easy recipe to multiply. As for serving, we sometimes enjoy these <em>piadinas<\/em> with nothing more than an <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aperol.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Aperol Spritz<\/a><\/em> or a nice glass of Italian wine as a light lunch or <em>aperitivo<\/em>, but you could have a little salad on the side, some kind of potatoes or chips or even enjoy these as a starter before a delicious feast.

Now put another sheet of non-stick baking paper over the top and put the other baking tray on top of that, pressing down slightly. This will help the piadinas to cook from both sides and stay flattened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Pop these in the oven for 15 to 20 minuts or until golden and crisp.
