Prosciutto-Stuffed Zucchini with Feta and Brown Butter image

You know when people say, "That's the stuff dreams are made of"? They're referring to brown butter. I'm a big believer that apps for entertaining should be wildly impressive on the plate and easy behind the scenes. In this flavorful twist on rollatini, briny feta and salty prosciutto are layered together inside rosemary-scented zucchini slices. Splashed with sweet, nutty brown butter, these fantastic hors d'oeuvres might only make it to the party in your mouth.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 18 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large zucchini (about 2 pounds)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
18 thin slices prosciutto
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Trim the ends of the zucchini so that they have a flat, sturdy bottom. Stand them up on your cutting board and using a very sharp knife (or mandoline), cut the zucchini lengthwise into 18 strips 1/8 inch thick.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and rosemary. Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with the rosemary oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the zucchini slices on a baking sheet and roast, flipping each strip halfway through, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once the butter is fully melted, increase the heat to medium. Whisking occasionally, keep an eye on the butter as it begins to foam, and then changes from a pale blonde to a golden shade, about 5 minutes. When the butter's aroma becomes very fragrant and nutty and the color is a deep golden tone, remove the pan from the heat.
  • Season the butter with a pinch of salt, whisk vigorously, and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of any dark brown bits.
  • Lay the cooled zucchini strips on a flat surface and top each one with a thin slice of prosciutto. Place 1 scant tablespoon of feta on the bottom of the strips and roll the zucchini closed.
  • Arrange the rolls seam-side down on a large platter and drizzle them evenly with the brown butter. Garnish with the chopped parsley and lemon zest.

Tips:

  • Select firm zucchini: Choose zucchini that are firm and have no blemishes. These will hold their shape better during cooking.
  • Use high-quality prosciutto: Opt for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a good flavor. This will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before serving. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken; it should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The zucchini and prosciutto will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This chicken, zucchini, and prosciutto recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. Serve it with a side of rice or pasta for a complete meal.
