Prosciutto rolls with Mozzarella cheese and basil- 3/12/11
This is an impressive appetizer that you put together in less than 10 minutes. Mozzarella cheese is cut in long strips, wrapped in prosciutto, then a basil leaf is added, and then balsamic vinegar and olive oil is poured over the rolls. Let the rolls hang out a room temperature for a few hours to let the flavors mature. I came up with this appetizer by using what I had in my refrigerator. Combining Prosciutto, Mozzarella cheese and basil was great but I thought it missed something so I added a balsamic vinegar and oil sauce to enhance the flavor of the dish.
The color of this dish is so bright and appetizing! The addition of the basil leave gives the appetizer a fresh bite.
