Prosciutto And Mozzarella Appetizer Food

PROSCIUTTO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Brush the bread on both sides generously with oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil until golden and crispy, 2 minutes per side.
• Remove, let cool slightly, and rub the garlic all over one side of each slice. Place a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, then top each with a slice of prosciutto. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and golden, 2 minutes.
• Garnish with a basil leaf and serve.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Remove the mozzarella sticks from their wrappers. Place them on a wax-paper-lined platter and freeze for at least four hours and preferably overnight.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
• Wrap each cheese stick in a prosciutto slice, as shown in the video below. As you wrap it around, the edges of the prosciutto will stick to each other so that it's fairly neatly wrapped.
• Place the wrapped mozzarella sticks, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them until the cheese just starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA PANINI

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl to blend.
• Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface and spread the vinaigrette on one side of each slice. Divide the mozzarella equally among 4 of the bread slices. Top with the prosciutto and roasted red peppers, then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, vinaigrette-side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing them occasionally with a large spatula or the bottom of a small heavy saucepan, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side.

MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Roll the pastry out into a 12 by 18-inch rectangle. Slide onto a pan and refrigerate for about 1 hour, until the dough is firm and rested. Use a floured, round, 21/2-inch cutter to cut out the dough. Arrange the cut dough on the prepared pans, about 1- inch apart. In a bowl, stir together the cheese, ham, parsley and pepper. Brush the egg wash lightly on the dough and arrange the filling over half of each circle of dough. Fold the empty side of the dough over the filling and seal the edges well with your fingertips. Seal again by pressing around the rim with the back of the tines of a fork. Dip the fork in flour so it doesn't stick. Arrange the turnovers about 1-inch apart on the prepared. Refrigerate the turnovers loosely covered with plastic wrap until 30 minutes before serving. Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees. Egg-wash the tops of the turnovers and bake for about 20 minutes, until they're well colored and crisp. Cool the pastries on the pans and reheat to serve. Serving: Reheat the turnovers at 350 degrees at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes to serve them warm. Storage: Refrigerate or freeze leftovers and reheat before serving.
