Prosciutto-Wrapped Breadsticks
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon truffle salt
- 24 long grissini (breadsticks)
- 24 thin slices of prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
- Combine the butter and truffle salt in a small bowl and mix with a spoon to thoroughly combine.
- Break each breadstick in half.
- Smear 2 teaspoons of the truffle butter on the last 3 to 4 inches of the broken end of each breadstick.
- Rip a slice of prosciutto in half and loosely drape it around the breadstick over the truffle butter.
- Repeat with the remaining breadsticks and prosciutto.
- Lay the breadsticks down on a cutting board or a serving platter, crossing the undressed portion of the sticks in an x formation.
- Lay two more breadsticks in the same way on top of the first, creating a long line of crossed breadsticks, and serve.
