Easy Recipes for Prosciutto Appetisers

My friend Agustina is finally going to come over this weekend to see my house and try out our new deck. This will be our first time entertaining in our new home and I am excited that they are coming. I was thinking what to serve and thought might do three simple appetisers made with prociutto; Prosciutto with Grissini, Prosciutto Wrapped Melon and Dates with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto. Thy these and let me know what you think. As a fourth choice, you migh consider prosciutto wrapped asparagus.

Prosciutto with Grissini

Grissini are Italian breadsticks. Thin and crispy, the breadsticks really highlight the buttery flavor of the prociutto.

12 Grissini

6 Slices Prosciutto, halved crosswise.

Wrap prosciutto around one end of each breadstick, overlapping to make it stick and leaving the over half of the breadstick exposed to work as a convenient handle. Stack on a platter until serving time.

Prosciutto Wrapped Melon

1/2 Cantloupe, cut into 1 inch cubes

3 oz Prosciutto, sliced paper thin

Wrap melon chunks in prosciutto and chill until serving time.

Dates with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto

12 Medjool dates

3 oz Prosciutto, sliced paper thin and halved crosswise

3 oz Goat cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pit the dates, slice them open and stuff each with 1 TB goat cheese. Close the dates, wrap it with prosciutto, securing with a toothpick. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and bake until heated through and prosciutto is crispy - about 8 minutes.
