Prosciutto Appetizer with Cheese
How to make a prosciutto appetizer with cheese
Yield: 15 pieces
Materials
- 1/2 baguette sliced
- 20 g prosciutto slices
- 100 g gouda or Havarti sliced
- 2 tbsp red pepper jelly
- 2 tbsp arugula
- 1 tbsp balsamic reduction
Instructions
- Slice your baguette and arrange the pieces of bread on a serving plate. You can use the bread fresh, or make a crostini. Make a crostini by brushing the baguette slices with a bit of olive oil on one side. Broil on high for 1-2 minutes until just beginning to turn brown on the edges. Remove from the heat and let them cool before adding the toppings.
- Use a butter knife to spread red pepper jelly onto each slice of baguette.
- Place 1 slice of gouda or Havarti cheese on top of the piece of bread.
- Place 1-2 pieces of arugula on top of the cheese layer.
- Add 1 piece of prosciutto on top of the arugula. Prosciutto is best presented if it is folded over onto itself. It makes the appetizer look a bit more fancy.
- Drizzle a small amount of balsamic reduction on top of the prosciutto appetizer.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge prior to serving. Make sure to cover it with cling wrap if you need to place it in the fridge.
