This recipe is just that . . . Easy. Flavorful. Delicious. Satisfying.
I have been going through a ton of prosciutto lately. My daughter is obsessed with it!

Wham! Bam! That Is Good Food Right There, People.
This is a great appetizer for parties or family holiday feasts.

I cater a get together with my dept. each year before Christmas. I thought I’d try some new appetizers and made prosciutto with melon with a flavor drizzle over it. A few took one bite and spit it out!! I was mortified. I guess prosciutto is an acquired taste! I had never had it and took a small bite and I have to admit, it seemed like I was eating uncooked meat. Yikes. Can it not be cooked in the oven on this puffed pastry with the asparagus and cheese? – Karen
Haha! I can see how some would not like prosciutto. I love it! I have cooked prosciutto before. It slightly changes the flavor and can crisp up if you want that. Mainly it just doesn’t look quite as pretty when it has been cooked. You may want to try it that way next time. Hopefully nobody spits it out 😉
Now this? This could be my lunch. This SHOULD be my lunch. I’m officially madly in love with this and YOU for creating this!
Come on over to my house for lunch!!!
Three of my favorite ingredients all in one! What a sublime tart!!
This looks delicious! Think I’ll have to make this for a lunch date with my mother, its right up her street! Thanks for sharing
I hope she enjoys 🙂
