Mozzarella And Prosciutto Turnovers Recipes

CURLY ENDIVE, PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA ON BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Brush 3 tablespoons of oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Wrap 1 curly endive and 1 slice of cheese with 1 slice of prosciutto, allowing the tops to extend 1-inch over 1 long side of the prosciutto. Arrange the crostini on a platter. Top each crostini with a prosciutto roll. Drizzle the vinaigrette over and serve.
• Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with more salt and pepper, if desired.

MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO SANDWICHES WITH TAPENADE

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in mortar; mash with pestle to paste. Add 1 cup olives and mash to coarse paste. Chop remaining 1/4 cup olives and stir into mixture. Mix in 1/4 cup olive oil, chopped basil, and lemon juice. Season tapenade with pepper. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Brush cut sides of ficelle with additional olive oil. Place 1 prosciutto slice on bottom half of each ficelle, then top with mozzarella slices, dividing equally. Spoon tapenade over each. Sprinkle with pepper; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Garnish with basil leaves. Cover with top halves of ficelle.

MOZZARELLA, PROSCIUTTO AND TOMATO SKEWERS, SUPER EASY!

Steps:

• Wrap each mozzarella ball in a half slice of prosciutto.
• Thread each skewer with a mozzarella ball, tomato and bread cube.
• Arrange the skewers on a platter.
• Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with cheese and basil.

MOZZARELLA & PROSCIUTTO PANINI

Steps:

• Put a griddle pan over a gentle heat to warm. Take the bread and make two sandwiches, layering up the prosciutto, cheese, red pepper and basil for the filling. Brush the outsides of the bread with oil.
• Put the sandwiches on the griddle and cook for about 1 minute each side - press down firmly with a metal spatula so they flatten and become golden and ridged by the griddle. Eat while deliciously hot and melted.

PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA APPETIZER

Steps:

• Place slices of bread on serving tray and drizzle lightly with olive oil and vinegar.
• Layer cheese, one or two slices of prosciutto, and tomato on each piece of bread.
• Sprinkle with parsley as a garnish.

MOZZARELLA, PROSCIUTTO, AND PESTO BUTTER TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the pesto butter: Combine butter, basil, garlic, Parmesan, and pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade; process until blended. Set aside. Lay prosciutto slices flat on a piece of plastic wrap, and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 10 minutes.
• Remove prosciutto from freezer; use a 2 1/4-inch round cutter to cut into rounds. Slice mozzarella 1/8 inch thick, and cut into rounds. Cut bread using the same cutter, being sure to remove all the crust.
• Spread a thin layer of pesto butter on two bread rounds. Layer one round with a round each of mozzarella and prosciutto; top with other bread round. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover with damp paper towels until ready to serve.
