Ingredients
- Endives
- 1 large head
- Goat cheese
- 4 ounces, softened
- Prosciutto
- 6 slices, cut in half lengthwise
- Walnuts
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons
- Fresh basil
- 1/4 cup, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by trimming the ends of the endives and gently separating the leaves. Aim for 12-16 intact leaves for rolling.
- In a small bowl, spread a thin layer of softened goat cheese on each endive leaf, covering the entire surface.
- Place a half slice of prosciutto on top of the goat cheese, allowing it to drape slightly over the edges.
- Sprinkle a tablespoon of chopped walnuts over the prosciutto on each leaf to add delightful crunch.
- Drizzle a little honey over each roll for a touch of sweetness that balances the saltiness of the prosciutto.
- Garnish the rolls with freshly chopped basil for a burst of color and freshness.
- Finally, drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled rolls to finish them off with a rich, tangy flavor.
- Serve immediately as a chic appetizer, or chill for up to 30 minutes for a refreshing cold bite.
Tips
- For a variation, try using ricotta cheese instead of goat cheese for a creamier texture.
- You can also add thinly sliced figs or pears for an extra layer of sweetness and complexity.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time; just keep the components separate until ready to serve to prevent the leaves from wilting.
