Tropical Prosciutto Bites Recipes

TROPICAL PROSCIUTTO BITES

Steps:

• Wrap strips of prosciutto around mango pieces and strawberries. Secure with toothpicks.

PROSCIUTTO BITES

Steps:

• You want all the ingredients (other than the prosciutto and black pepper) to be around the same size.
• I buy the slices of havarti from the deli and cut them into four long slices. Then cut those strips in half widthwise. I then put two pieces into a roll.
• Cut the pear into quarters and core it. Then cut each quarter in four long thin slices. I end up with a few slices leftover but I consider those treats for the cook!
• At one end of a slice of prosciutto, place a cheese slice, a pear wedge and a pepper stick.
• Sprinkle with pepper.
• Roll up slices and secure with toothpick if necessary. I find that the meay sticks to itself usually well enough to not need toothpicks.
• After they are rolled up, you can cutthem in half if you would like a smaller bite.
• Refrigerate prior to serving and keep cool during serving.

BRIE, CRANBERRY AND PROSCIUTTO BITES

Steps:

• Unmold the cranberry sauce from the can, and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Trim the rounds into 1-inch squares.
• Remove the outer rind from the wheel of Brie, leaving the top and bottom rind intact. Cut across into 3/4-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices into 1-inch pieces.
• Put Brie squares on mini toasts and top with pieces of cranberry sauce, then wrap in prosciutto and secure with decorative toothpicks. Serve at room temperature.

TROPICAL PROSCIUTTO BITES

PROSCIUTTO AND HONEYDEW BITES WITH BALSAMIC AND BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Put the vinegar in a small saucepan or skillet with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 1 tablespoon, about 5 minutes (be careful; it can burn quickly towards the end). Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Wrap each piece of honeydew in a prosciutto half and top with a basil leaf, inserting a small pick to secure everything.
• Drizzle with some of the reduced vinegar and grind a little more black pepper on top.

SCALLOP AND PROSCIUTTO BITES

Steps:

• Wrap each scallop with a thin slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the scallops into the pan, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Season each side with pepper as it is cooking. Once each side has been fried, sprinkle the white wine over the scallops, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the scallops from the pan to drain on paper towels. When slightly cooled, transfer to a serving tray, and remove the toothpicks to serve.

PROSCIUTTO AND PERSIMMON BITES

Steps:

• Peel persimmon and remove leafy top. Cut into 12 wedges.
• Cut prosciutto into 12 strips, each about an inch wide. Wrap persimmon wedges with prosciutto and secure with toothpicks.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED FRUIT

Steps:

• Spread cheese evenly on prosciutto slices. Place pear or apple wedge on shortest side of each slice; roll up.
• Serve immediately, or cover loosely and refrigerate until serving time. To serve, cut each roll into 3 pieces. Secure each with cocktail toothpick.
