PRESENTATION

Piadina with prosciutto and scamorza cheese is this classic snack from Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. It really combines simplicity with flavor that's, well, really good. This piadina recipe is perfect when you're craving something more exciting than your usual sandwich. It's just different. The Italian flatbread with prosciutto comes out tender and just a bit crispy on the edges. Everybody loves that texture, right? Traditionally, piadina is filled with prosciutto crudo, fresh rucola, or creamy squacquerone cheese. But listen, in this version, the smoky taste of scamorza cheese melts right into the moist flatbread, and slices of roasted cooked ham, or prosciutto cotto arrosto, add an extra savory touch.

And here's the thing—people in Emilia-Romagna often include senape antica, an old-style mustard, for a gentle, tangy edge that’s just so so good. Not too strong, just right. If you’re trying a prosciutto and scamorza piadina, expect something comforting and easy to prepare. Makes sense why it’s a favorite for lunch or a quick snack. Pretty much everyone loves it. In the region, folks enjoy experimenting with piadina variations—like adding yogurt and granola for breakfast, or trying different cheeses and meats. But seriously, nothing beats the piadina with cheese and ham for an authentic Italian snack experience.

This easy piadina recipe is super flexible, letting you fold it like a sandwich or enjoy it flat with your hands. Whether you grab one at a street stand or whip up a homemade piadina in your kitchen—seriously good—the result is always golden, warm, and a bit addictive. The way the scamorza melts, mixing with salty prosciutto and the mustard's bite, gives you a taste of Italy’s best snacking tradition—straight from Emilia-Romagna, yet always welcome at any table. With its quick prep time and versatile nature, this piadina is a great option for anyone looking to bring a touch of Italy to their meals. And you know what? You really can't go wrong.
