Prosciutto Blue Cheese Appetizer Spoons Recipes

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat grill. You will need medium to high heat for grilling. The key is to crisp the prosciutto quickly and leave the blue cheese just melted with the inner part of the fig cool in temperature.
• Cut the figs in half and place a piece of blue cheese on each fig half. Wrap the prosciutto around each fig half, covering the cheese. The ends of the prosciutto should overlap.
• Grill each piece until the prosciutto begins to color and crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Serve warm.

PROSCIUTTO & BLUE CHEESE APPETIZER SPOONS

Steps:

• Peel and chop shallots.
• Melt butter in a frying pan over low heat. (Be careful it doesn't get brown, it's very bad for health.).
• When butter has melt, add chopped shallots. Leave covered, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until translucent.
• Add sugar and stir. Let shallots caramelize for a couple of minutes, then add raspberry vinegar. At that time, you should probably go for medium heat. It's important when adding alcohol to get it to a smooth boil so the strong taste evaporates. When the strong smell is gone, you're done. Take pan off heat.
• Cut prosciutto into small pieces.
• Dice blue cheese.
• Fill the bottom of your Chinese soup spoons with caramelized shallots. Add a dice of blue cheese and top with prosciutto pieces.
• Serve right away.

CROSTINI WITH MUSHROOMS, PROSCIUTTO, AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add all mushrooms and garlic and sauté until mushrooms are cooked through and brown, about 10 minutes. Add cream and boil until liquid is completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add blue cheese and stir until cheese melts. Mix in prosciutto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mushroom topping to bowl. (Mushroom topping can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet. Bake until just golden, about 5 minutes. Mound 1 generous tablespoon mushroom topping on each slice. Return to oven; bake until topping is heated through, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
