Prosciutto and Feta Rolls

Perfect mid-afternoon snack? I think so! These little bite size snacks just take seconds to prepare and are packed full of flavor. Use a flavored olive oil for an added punch of flavor.



Prosciutto and Feta Rolls

Adapted from David Lebovitz
Yield: 25 bite-sized rolls

Ingredients:
3 thinly-sliced pieces of prosciutto - Recommended: Prosciutto di Parms Sini Fulvi
2 ounces feta cheese (a firm goat cheese or cream cheese can be substituted)
a few leaves of fresh Basil (Oregano or Sage can also be used)
about 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation:

With a sharp knife, cut a slice of prosciutto into rectangular strips about 1" x 2"

Cut the feta into rectangular cubes approximately the same width as the prosciutto slices. Thinly slice basil into ribbons.

Take a piece of feta, rest it on the narrowest edge of a rectangle of prosciutto along with a basil ribbon, roll it up tightly.

Set the roll in a dish, and continue, making the rest of the rolls. Once finished, douse the rolls with enough olive oil so that they're saturated and nearly fully immersed in the olive oil.
