Sweet and Savory Prosciutto Roll-Ups

Impress your guests at your next wine and cheese night with these elegant prosciutto roll-ups. The combination of creamy goat cheese, sweet fig preserves, and savory prosciutto will make these disappear quickly! You'll want to double the recipe, or you can cut the rolls in half for a smaller serving size. I like to serve these over a bed of arugula that has been lightly tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Equipment

1 Cutting Board Large, clean surface for assembly.
1 Small Mixing Bowl For blending goat cheese.
1 Small Spatula or Spoon For spreading fillings.
1 Chef's knife For chopping pine nuts if not pre-chopped.
1 Serving Platter For presentation.

Ingredients

Main

8 slices prosciutto
5 ounces goat cheese softened
¼ cup fig preserves
2 tablespoons chopped pine nuts

Instructions

Lay prosciutto slices on a large cutting board.
Place goat cheese into a small bowl and mix until creamy and spreadable. Lightly spread goat cheese on each slice of prosciutto. Top with a thin layer of fig preserves and sprinkle with crushed pine nuts.
Starting from one end, roll each prosciutto slice up into a tube. Place on a small platter and serve.

Notes

Achieving the ideal texture for the goat cheese is paramount; ensure it's truly at room temperature and easily spreadable. For an elevated flavor, gently toast the pine nuts in a dry pan until fragrant before sprinkling, which significantly enhances their nutty aroma. The quality of both the prosciutto and fig preserves will dictate the overall success of this simple dish; opt for thinly sliced, high-quality prosciutto and a fig preserve with a balanced sweetness. For presentation and added freshness, serving these over a bed of lightly dressed arugula, perhaps with a subtle drizzle of balsamic glaze, offers a beautiful contrast in texture and a touch of acidity.
