Prosciutto Ham, Baked Pears and Mozzarella Burrata Appetizer Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

  • 3 pears, washed and cut into six lengthwise wedges

  • 3 tbsps. honey

  • 1 tbsp. aged balsamic

  • 18 slices Prosciutto di Parma

  • 2 fresh burrata balls

  • 4 tbsps. crème fraiche

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh rosemary

Directions

  1. Turn the oven to 375 F

  2. Mix the honey and balsamic vinegar in a bowl, and toss with the pears to coat.

  3. Arrange in a baking sheet, and bake for about 25 minutes, or until tender, turning once. Let cool out of the oven.

  4. Cut the burratta into slices. The slices should be about as wide as the slice of prosciutto.

  5. To assemble, place a slice of prosciutto flat on a board, and brush with crème fraiche. Add salt and pepper. Place a wedge of pear and a slice of burrata, at one end, leaving about ½ inch of prosciutto overlapping. Roll into a tight bundle, then, skewer with a stem of rosemary to hold the shape.
