Prosciutto & Cheese Rosettes
- 3 strips Smoked Bacon, Halved
- 12 strips Prosciutto, Halved
- 2 sticks Mozzarella Cheese
- 4 slices Provolone Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Johnny's Garlic Spread & Seasoning (or Garlic Salt May Be Substituted)
- Necessary equipment: 1-2 mini muffin pan(s)
- Directions:
- In a large skillet, lightly crisp bacon over medium high heat.
- Remove bacon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
- Prepare the mini muffin pan by taking a pastry brush and lightly coating each muffin hole with a little bit of the bacon grease.
- Or you can lightly spray muffin holes with cooking spray.
- Half each of the prosciutto slices and then carefully separate each slice.
- Gently place the center of the slice of prosciutto into a muffin hole.
- Press the prosciutto along the sides of the muffin hole.
- Roll the provolone cheese loosely, then slice into 1/2 rounds.
- Or lay the provolone cheese flat on the cutting surface and slice into 1/2 strips.
- (When sliced in rounds, it is easier to place into the prosciutto cups).
- Place one strip of provolone cheese into each prosciutto cup by circling the cheese along the inside of each cup.
- Take the mozzarella sticks and slice 1/4 thick rounds.
- Place a round of cheese into the center of each prosciutto cup.
- Top each cup with a sprinkle of Johnnys Garlic Spread & Seasoning (or garlic salt).
- Take care not to over season each cup or they will be too salty.
- Slice each bacon strip in half down the center length-wise.
- Then cut each strip into 1/4 thick slices width-wise.
- Place bacon bits on the top of each prosciutto cup.
- Give each cup a quick spritz of cooking spray.
- Place on the second oven shelf.
- Allow to broil for 5-7 minutes.
- Check frequently after 3 minutes to be sure that nothing is browning too quickly.
- Remove and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Plate and serve immediately.
