Prosciutto Filled with HappinessGabrielle Revere

You'll want to scarf down these little cornucopias down as fast as you can make them.

Ingredients

You need:

1/4 cup pine nuts
About 20 thin slices of good-quality prosciutto
1 small bunch arugula
1/4 pound gorgonzola
1/4 cup currants

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until they turn golden brown. (I do mine in the toaster oven.) You'll want to keep a close eye on these because they go from golden brown to burned very quickly, as I've learned on three or four occasions. Transfer them to a small bowl and let them cool.

    Step 2

    Cut each slice of prosciutto in half, crosswise. Don't worry if they're not perfect. Top each half-slice with a small piece of arugula, a dab of gorgonzola, a few pine nuts, and few currants. Then roll them into little mini horns.

    Step 3

    Arrange on a platter and serve.
