Now, let me give you this very simple and easy prosciutto starter.  All you need are the following ingredients:  Tomatoes, sliced mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, caramelized balsamic/ balsamic concentrate, ground black pepper, olive oil and prosciutto slices.

Procedure: Slice the tomatoes about 1cm thick.  Arrange on a serving platter and top with mozzarella slices, followed with basil leaves.  Drizzle the olive oil on top as well as the balsamic concentrate.  Season with black pepper.  Arrange on its side the slices of prosciutto.  You can also put the slices of prosciutto in between the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese instead of separating them on the plate.

Alternative serving idea: You can arrange the ingredients in mini skewers by using cherry tomatoes instead and cutting the mozzarella in cubes.  This will definitely look beautiful on the party table!

This is a favorite Italian entree.  The combination of all the flavors of ingredients is fantastic.  Bon apetit!

This is perfect for entree or appetizer

Ingredients:  Asparagus

- Prosciutto which can be replaced with sliced ham

- Feta cheese, or you can choose from a variety of your favorite cheese like camembhert or mozarella (which must be combined with other cheese like parmesan or cheddar for more taste and flavor)

- olive oil and ground black pepper

Here’s the simple steps to prepare it:

First, lay down prosciutto slices and put 3 pieces of asparagus on top;  Sprinkle with crumbed feta cheese;  Season with black pepper; Wrap around the asparagus with the prosciutto; Arrange several pieces of this wrap on a baking tray; Drizzle with olive oil;  Bake for 15 minutes at 175′ or until the prosciutto is golden brown.

It’s always nice to serve this fresh from the oven while it is still warm.  The juice on the baking tray which came from the asparagus, cheese and prosciutto can be drizzled on top before serving.  Bon apetit!
