Prosciutto And Basil Sandwich Rolls Recipes

MENA'S PROSCIUTTO AND BASIL PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Place prosciutto in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Lightly oil a pizza pan, baking sheet, or baking stone. Press pizza dough out onto the pan, spreading to the edges, but avoiding pulling the dough apart.
• Combine tomato paste, water, oregano, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Spread an even layer over the dough. Reserve remaining mixture for use on another pizza. Sprinkle minced garlic over the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella on top, then the fried prosciutto, then the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle sliced basil leaves over pizza.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese and crust are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let pizza cool for 3 to 4 minutes, slice, and serve.

BASIL-PROSCIUTTO SANDWICH ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese spread, basil and lemon juice until blended.
• Place bread slices in single layer on large sheet of wax paper. Use rolling pin to flatten each bread slice to 5x3-1/2-inch rectangle.
• Spread bread slices with cream cheese mixture. Top with prosciutto; roll up tightly.
• Wrap individually in plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate 1 hour. Cut each roll-up diagonally in half to serve.

PROSCIUTTO AND SOPPRESSATA ROLLS

Steps:

• Place a slice of prosciutto on a work surface; top with 1 basil leaf and 1 mozzarella ball. Roll prosciutto around basil and mozzarella cheese and secure with a toothpick. Repeat process, alternating with soppressata, until all ingredients are used. Refrigerate until serving.

PROSCIUTTO, MOZZARELLA, TOMATO, AND BASIL PANINI

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in small bowl to blend; season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Layer prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil over bottom of bread. Drizzle lightly with dressing, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press top of bread over. Cut bread equally into 4 sandwiches.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill sandwiches until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, pressing occasionally to compact with large spatula, about 5 minutes per side.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST STUFFED WITH PROSCIUTTO AND BASIL

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• On a work surface spread prosciutto slices evenly with mustard. Top slices with basil leaves and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella. Starting with a short end roll up each prosciutto slice.
• Pat chicken dry and put on a work surface, skinned sides down. Remove "tender" (fillet strip located on either side of where breast bone was) from each breast half, keeping rest of chicken breast intact, and reserve tenders for another use. (There should be 1 tender from each breast half.)
• To form a long thin pocket in chicken for prosciutto roll: Put chicken breast halves on cutting board and, beginning at thicker end of breast half, horizontally insert a thin sharp knife three fourths of the way through center of each. Open cut to create a 1-inch-wide pocket in each half. Fit a prosciutto roll into each pocket and season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Grill chicken on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, chicken may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately low heat.)
