Cheese in blankets is a simple yet delicious appetizer that combines the savory flavors of Parmesan cheese and prosciutto. This quick recipe requires minimal ingredients and effort, making it perfect for a spontaneous snack or a gathering with friends. Follow these steps for a delightful treat.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Take a baking sheet and give it a light, even spray with the cooking spray oil to prevent sticking. You can also line it with parchment paper for extra non-stick assurance.
- Divide the grated parmesan cheese into small, thin circles (about 2 inches in diameter) on the prepared baking sheet. You should have around 6 to 8 cheese circles.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye on them; you'll know they're ready when the cheese has melted and the edges are golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the cheese circles from the oven. Allow them to cool for a minute or two, just enough so they're not too hot to handle but still pliable.
- If they're too crisp, they may break when you try to shape them, so work quickly and carefully.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto into strips, about the same width as the diameter of the cheese circles.
- Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the circumference of each cheese circle, pressing gently to secure.
- Arrange your Cheese in Blankets on a serving platter. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure the Parmesan cheese is evenly grated to achieve a uniform texture.
- When laying out the prosciutto, make sure it is spread out evenly to avoid overlapping.
- Use a light spray of oil to prevent sticking, but don’t overdo it, as prosciutto has its own natural oils.
- Keep an eye on the cooking process to prevent the cheese from burning.
- For a twist, try using different types of cheeses or additional spices to enhance the flavor.
Your Cheese in blankets are now ready to be enjoyed! This easy-to-make appetizer is sure to impress with its rich flavors and crisp texture. It's perfect for serving at parties or as a quick indulgence on a lazy day. Enjoy!
