Eggplant & Prosciutto Wrapped Cheese

Serving Size: 1
Preparation Time: 0:15 Categories: Appetizer, Italian, Vegetarian

• 1 hunk of Mozzarella cheese cut into 3 rectangles the size of dominos
• 1 egg plant sliced thinly the long way and grilled to have smoky taste
• Slices prosciutto to wrap each piece
• Parmesan cheese or Romano sheets to wrap
• 3 large basil leafs
• Basic tomato sauce

Cut a rectangular block of Mozzarella cheese the size of a domino. Wrap it in a slightly larger thin slice of grilled and smoky flavored eggplant. Wrap this package in a basil leaf then in a slice of thin prosciutto. Wrap this in the Parmesan cheese sheet, which is best cut when slightly warmed.

This should be plated and surrounded by the tomato sauce. This could be heated in an oven or broiler. A few sprinkles of shredded mozzarella could be melted on the “packages” under a broiler before presentation, and this would heat it through before serving. Three on the plate for a single appetizer serving seems appropriate. The tomato sauce should be special, it should have some sublime addition such as white wine port or sherry or fennel or lemon or some other unidentifiable very subtle ingredient, which would make it just so much more intriguing. Work up what ever you like to make it your own!

Enjoy. Dr. Stu.
