Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 10 very thin slices prosciutto
- About 1/4 pound Parmesan, sliced wafer thin
- 8 to 10 dried figs, stemmed and cut into about 3 strips each
- Truffle or olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the prosciutto: Cut each slice of prosciutto lengthwise in half. This creates smaller strips that are easier to roll and serve as bite-sized appetizers.
- Assemble the rolls: On each half slice of prosciutto, place one wafer-thin slice of Parmesan cheese and a strip of dried fig. Roll the prosciutto tightly along its length, pressing gently so the meat sticks to itself and holds the filling securely inside.
- Cover and rest: If you are not serving the rolls immediately, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate. They should be served within 2 hours of assembly for best freshness and flavor.
- Serve and garnish: Right before serving, drizzle the rolls lightly with truffle oil or olive oil to enhance the flavors and add a luxurious finish.
Notes
- Choose very thin slices of prosciutto for easy rolling and delicate texture.
- Use wafer-thin Parmesan slices to ensure a balanced bite that doesn’t overpower the other ingredients.
- Dried figs add a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the prosciutto and Parmesan.
- Truffle oil adds an earthy, gourmet touch but can be substituted with high-quality olive oil if preferred.
- Serve within 2 hours to maintain optimal texture and flavor.
