Prosciutto And Mozzarella Appetizer Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Roll the pastry out into a 12 by 18-inch rectangle. Slide onto a pan and refrigerate for about 1 hour, until the dough is firm and rested. Use a floured, round, 21/2-inch cutter to cut out the dough. Arrange the cut dough on the prepared pans, about 1- inch apart. In a bowl, stir together the cheese, ham, parsley and pepper. Brush the egg wash lightly on the dough and arrange the filling over half of each circle of dough. Fold the empty side of the dough over the filling and seal the edges well with your fingertips. Seal again by pressing around the rim with the back of the tines of a fork. Dip the fork in flour so it doesn't stick. Arrange the turnovers about 1-inch apart on the prepared. Refrigerate the turnovers loosely covered with plastic wrap until 30 minutes before serving. Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees. Egg-wash the tops of the turnovers and bake for about 20 minutes, until they're well colored and crisp. Cool the pastries on the pans and reheat to serve. Serving: Reheat the turnovers at 350 degrees at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes to serve them warm. Storage: Refrigerate or freeze leftovers and reheat before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Brush the bread on both sides generously with oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil until golden and crispy, 2 minutes per side.
• Remove, let cool slightly, and rub the garlic all over one side of each slice. Place a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, then top each with a slice of prosciutto. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and golden, 2 minutes.
• Garnish with a basil leaf and serve.

Steps:

• With a large melon baller, scoop melon flesh into a large bowl (or cut into bite-size pieces). Add bocconcini, oil, and red-pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
