Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

One 1-inch-thick slice pineapple, peeled and cored
One 8- to 12-ounce wheel Brie or Camembert, cut in half horizontally
8 slices prosciutto (about 8 ounces)
Crackers and bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for direct and indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the side burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  • Grill the pineapple over direct heat until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Let cool 5 minutes, then place on the cut side of one of the cheese halves. Place the other piece of cheese on top with the cut side touching the pineapple. Lay the prosciutto slices out on a work surface so they overlap in the middle and look like the spokes of a wheel. Put the cheese and pineapple round in the middle of the prosciutto and bring up one slice at a time to cover. The cheese and pineapple should be fully wrapped in prosciutto.
  • Grill over direct heat until starting to turn golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until golden and crisp on the other side, about 3 minutes. Move to indirect heat and cover the grill. Cook until hot throughout and gooey, 5 to 8 minutes more depending on your grill. Serve immediately with crackers and bread.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND PROSCIUTTO FLATBREAD



Grilled Pineapple and Prosciutto Flatbread image

Pairing pineapple with ham on a pizza is very controversial, but what's not controversial, and actually a proven scientific fact, is that sweet pineapple pairs perfectly with the salty, savory flavor of ham on flatbread. Since there's no sauce or cheese involved, this is the perfect way to enjoy this pairing without having to worry about an angry mob of food bloggers with torches and pitchforks outside your house.

Time 9h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup warm water
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ small fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
2 ounces sliced prosciutto
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
freshly ground black pepper to taste
flaky sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • To make the dough, combine warm water, 1/2 cup of flour, and yeast to a mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix everything into a smooth batter. Cover bowl with a towel and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Add olive oil, salt, and remaining flour to the bowl, and stir with a spoon or fork until the mixture comes together to form a shaggy ball of dough.
  • Transfer everything to a work surface and knead until the dough just starts to become elastic, about 2 minutes.
  • Place dough in a lightly oiled zip-top bag. Press out most of the air, seal, and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • The next day, take the bag of dough out of the fridge, and leave out at room temperature until it roughly doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are white and ashy. Quarter your peeled and cored pineapple and trim out the tough, fibrous core in the center.
  • Grill pineapple round-side down over hot coals until heated through, and fairly well charred, about 3 minutes; flip and continue to grill on the cored side until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve until needed.
  • Once dough has doubled, remove from bag and divide into 4 portions. Form each portion into a ball and use a rolling pin to roll dough into an oval, or circle about an 1/8-inch thick.
  • Place dough over hot coals, and grill until dough is cooked through, and about half the surface area is slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove from grill and top each warm flatbread with a drizzle of olive oil. Top with prosciutto, thin slices of grilled pineapple, tarragon leaves, and freshly ground black pepper. Finish with another small drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

PROSCIUTTO BITES



Prosciutto Bites image

The kids and I went on a sampling spree one time in Sam's Club. One gentleman was offering up these little bites of heaven. All three kids got up the nerve to try them. And all three kids wanted to go back for seconds! First time we had ever had prosciutto and we loved it. The gentleman was so impressed that all three of my kids enjoyed it, that he gave me the recipe so that I could make my own! Whether it is a fancy holiday party or a Superbowl party, these would go great!

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 slices prosciutto (thin slices)
1 medium pear, cut up into thin wedges
4 -6 ounces havarti cheese
black pepper
1 medium red pepper, cut into 24 thin sticks

Steps:

  • You want all the ingredients (other than the prosciutto and black pepper) to be around the same size.
  • I buy the slices of havarti from the deli and cut them into four long slices. Then cut those strips in half widthwise. I then put two pieces into a roll.
  • Cut the pear into quarters and core it. Then cut each quarter in four long thin slices. I end up with a few slices leftover but I consider those treats for the cook!
  • At one end of a slice of prosciutto, place a cheese slice, a pear wedge and a pepper stick.
  • Sprinkle with pepper.
  • Roll up slices and secure with toothpick if necessary. I find that the meay sticks to itself usually well enough to not need toothpicks.
  • After they are rolled up, you can cutthem in half if you would like a smaller bite.
  • Refrigerate prior to serving and keep cool during serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before wrapping it in prosciutto.
  • Cut the pineapple into 1-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into 4 wedges. This will make it easier to wrap the prosciutto around the pineapple.
  • Use a thin slice of prosciutto for each pineapple wedge. This will help the prosciutto cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too chewy.
  • Wrap the prosciutto around the pineapple wedges tightly, but not too tightly. You want the prosciutto to be snug against the pineapple, but you don't want to crush it.
  • Bake the prosciutto-wrapped pineapple wedges at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the prosciutto is cooked through and the pineapple is heated through.
  • Serve the prosciutto-wrapped pineapple wedges immediately, while they are still hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as basil or mint, if desired.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto-wrapped pineapple bites are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in advance, making them a great option for busy hosts. The combination of sweet pineapple and salty prosciutto is irresistible, and the bites are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give prosciutto-wrapped pineapple bites a try. You won't be disappointed!
