Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 pears (454 g) pears
- 1 handful arugula
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 8 oz (227 g) manchego
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Slice pears into thin slices and place in a bowl of lemon water. Let sit for one minute, then remove and pat dry.
- Slice the prosciutto pieces lengthwise and lay them out on a cutting board. Slice the manchego into pieces that are not too thick but will not break in half.
- Assemble each roll by laying down one piece of prosciutto, placing one pear slice at one end, a few pieces of arugula, and one piece of cheese, then rolling up. Use toothpicks to secure if needed.
- Lay the rolls out on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- To prevent browning, immediately submerge pear slices in lemon water after slicing.
- For a richer flavor, use aged Manchego cheese.
- Store assembled rolls, uncovered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving; do not drizzle with balsamic glaze until serving.
