CRISPY PROSCIUTTO CUPS WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, brown the sausage. Use a potato masher to press the sausage in the pan. It assures a nice crust forms on the sausage. Then, using a wooden spoon, break apart the sausage as it cooks. Once the sausage is brown, add in the celery, apples and onion and saute until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the parsley, sage and thyme, and then add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits that have formed on the bottom of the pan. Season with pepper, turn off the heat and set aside.
• Add the bread cubes to a large mixing bowl and add the sauteed sausage and vegetable mixture. Toss to combine, and then add in the dried cranberries. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add in the eggs and toss until all ingredients are combined.
• Line each cup of 2 nonstick muffin pans with 2 slices prosciutto. Let the prosciutto hang over the cups. As they bake, this becomes crispy and delicious, plus the prosciutto shrinks up a bit as it cooks as well. Press the prosciutto slices into the muffin cups to create space for the stuffing.
• Once the muffin cups are lined, fill each cup with a heaping amount of stuffing.
• Bake the stuffing cups until golden brown on top and the prosciutto is nice and crispy around the sides, 20 to 25 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool in the muffin tins until they are cool enough to touch, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove, serve and enjoy!

ROASTED PEARS WITH SAGE AND CRISP PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Place a rack in upper third of the oven and heat to 450 degrees F. Place 1 sage leaf on a pear slice and secure by wrapping 1 piece prosciutto like a "belt" around the pear. Repeat to make 24 pieces.
• Evenly space pears on a baking sheet and place in oven to cook until prosciutto is crisp and pears are slightly softened, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately. Pears can be assembled up to 2 hours ahead. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
• Pears can also be served uncooked, if desired.

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide prosciutto between baking sheets, laying them flat. Bake until fat turns golden and meat is darker, about 15 minutes (rotating baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through baking time). Using tongs, carefully transfer prosciutto to paper towels to drain (it will crisp as it cools). Crispy prosciutto can be used like bacon, in whole pieces or crumbled.

CRISPY PROSCIUTTO CUPS WITH PEAR FILLING

Steps:

• 1) Cut ham into squares large enough to fit into mini muffin tin. Note: the ham will shrink, so it's ok if it sticks out a bit (although try to make it stick up, so it doesn't overlap with neighboring ham cups); I also saw this done with 2-4 strips overlaid in a criss cross.
• Bake at 375 for approx 10 minutes, until warm and stiff.
• Remove cups from oven and place on paper towel to cool and drain grease (see note above).
• Cut up pear into small cubes; mix with lemon juice and fill cups as much as you want.
• Garnish with colorful spices and/or herbs (sweet paprika and chives shown in picture).

• In a medium bowl, mix the garlic, spinach, and ricotta until well blended. Set aside.
• Place strips of prociutto into a mini muffin tin so that they line the bottom but there is also some meat hanging out over the sides to look like a flower.
• Fill each cup with about 1 1/2 TBS of cheese mixture or enough so the cup is full and rounded on the top. The filling should look like the center of the flower.
• Bake 10-15 minutes, until the prosciutto is browned and stiff to the touch. The cups should be able to retain their shape after they are removed from the tin. Serve warm, not hot.
