Equipment
- kitchen scisors
- pastry piping bag
Ingredients
- 12 rice crackers
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 4 oz. whipped cream cheese
- 24 small dill fronds
Instructions
- Using kitchen scissors, cut a slice of prosciutto off of a piece that’s about a half-inch wide. I find it’s easier to cut with the plastic still attached.
- Carefully peel the plastic away and gently roll the piece into a rose. I’ll make 2 different sizes. One, using a whole cut piece and others, using just half. Make 36 little roses.
- Pipe a circle of whipped cream cheese onto a rice cracker and place 3 prosciutto roses on the left side.
- Add 2 small dill fronds on the top and bottom.
Notes
They can be made an hour ahead of time before going a bit stale in the fridge, but if you were to use a more stable cracker, like a Ritz or even cucumber slices, they would last even longer.
Be sure your prosciutto is separated by plastic or wax paper. You’ll have a heck of a time separating the prosciutto slices if they aren’t nicely separated in the packaging.
See post for detailed instructions with photos of the process.
