Description

Imagine delicate bundles, each a small treasure of savory delights. These prosciutto parcels are more than just appetizers; they are an invitation to indulge in a symphony of textures and tastes, perfect for celebrations or any moment you want to feel special. Thin slices of cured ham, with their salty-sweet character, form the outer layer, embracing a creamy filling that is both rich and surprisingly light.

At the heart of each parcel lies a blend of soft cheese, its tanginess providing a counterpoint to the ham's richness. Finely chopped chives are stirred throughout, lending a fresh, oniony note that enlivens the entire composition. Sun-dried tomatoes, with their intense, concentrated sweetness and chewy texture, add a burst of Mediterranean sunshine to every bite.

The vibrant red of the tomatoes peeks through the pale pink of the prosciutto, creating a visually appealing contrast that hints at the flavors within. These parcels are incredibly versatile. Serve them chilled as an elegant start to a dinner party, where their sophisticated flavors will awaken the palate.

Or, arrange them on a platter as part of a festive holiday spread, their charming appearance adding a touch of whimsy to the occasion. The aroma is subtle yet enticing – a blend of salty ham, creamy cheese, and the herbaceous scent of fresh chives. Each bite offers a delightful combination of textures, from the smooth creaminess of the cheese to the slight chewiness of the sun-dried tomatoes and the delicate tenderness of the prosciutto.

These prosciutto parcels are a testament to the idea that simple ingredients, when combined with care, can create something truly extraordinary. They are a celebration of flavor, texture, and presentation, designed to delight both the eye and the palate. For an extra touch of elegance, try tying each parcel with a delicate chive, adding a charming finishing detail that elevates these appetizers to something truly special.

They are sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.

Instructions

    1.
    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese with finely chopped sundried tomatoes (about two large ones) and ½ tablespoon of chopped chives. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then mix thoroughly until well combined.

    Gently pinch the prosciutto up and around the cheese ball, carefully forming a small, neat bundle. Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed.
