Meanwhile, cut the manchego with a vegetable peeler into thin shavings.

Place the arugula in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the juice from 4 lemon wedges. Toss until evenly dressed.

Place two slices of ham and a few shavings of cheese on each crostini and top with arugula. Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges.
