Prosciutto-Wrapped Pear & Cheese Rolls
Chef Giorgos Tsoulis offers a uniquely flavorful and super easy appetizer for your Christmas table, but it’s also perfect for New Year’s Eve and virtually any other celebration.
These prosciutto rolls are an elegant and flavorful appetizer, combining the sweetness of fresh pear, the creamy tang of goat cheese (gorgonzola or other blue cheese types are perfect choices as well), and the peppery bite of arugula.
Drizzled with balsamic cream (or homemade reduced balsamic), they’re a perfect balance of savory and sweet, making them an impressive yet simple dish for any occasion.

I used gorgonzola instead of goat cheese and they came out great! I think I’ll be making them again for the holidays.
