Sour Cream Pesto Dip With Prosciutto Dippers Food

SOUR CREAM PESTO DIP WITH PROSCIUTTO DIPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pre-rolled rectangle of puff pastry on a lined baking tray and brush with the mustard. Sprinkle over the Parmesan then make a layer of prosciutto so the pastry is mostly covered. Press down slightly so everything sticks together a little easier
• . Cut the pastry into 14 strips across the way then double them up making sure the Prosciutto sides are facing each other. You should now have 7 long prosciutto pastry sandwiches. Each dipper can be cut in half at this point if you want to serve more smaller portions.
• Twist each dipper into curly straws and place back onto the baking sheet. Brush each dipper with egg then bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
• Meanwhile make the pesto. Place the basil, parmesan, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil in a bowl and blitz together with an immersion (handheld) blender until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper and add the sour cream, stir then transfer to serving bowl.
• Once the dippers are golden and crispy, remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving with the sour cream pesto dip.
