Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 oz prosciutto (two 3 oz packages), thicker sliced
- 4 oz lemon chevre, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup fig preserves
- 2 cups arugula
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Prosciutto: Slice each piece of prosciutto in half lengthwise and lay the slices flat on a cutting board.
- Spread the Cheese: Spread about one teaspoon of softened lemon chevre on the rounded top portion of each prosciutto slice, using an upward arc motion to cover the surface evenly.
- Add Fig Preserves: Spread approximately half a teaspoon of fig preserves over the goat cheese layer on each slice.
- Place Arugula: Add a few fresh arugula leaves on top of the fig preserves layer.
- Dress the Arugula: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Drizzle this dressing evenly over the arugula on each slice.
- Season: Sprinkle fresh cracked black pepper over the arugula and toppings to taste.
- Roll Up: Starting from the bottom, carefully roll up each prosciutto slice to encase the filling and create a neat roll up.
- Serve or Store: Arrange the roll ups on a serving platter to serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use thicker-sliced prosciutto to prevent tearing when spreading and rolling.
- Room temperature goat cheese spreads more easily and evenly.
- Drizzling the olive oil and lemon juice mixture enhances brightness and balances flavors.
- Serve the roll ups chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.
- These roll ups can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.
