Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Prosciutto crudo | 3 slices |
| Goat cheese (caprino) | 100g |
| Fresh mint | 4 leaves |
| Fresh dill | 2 sprigs |
| Black pepper | To taste |
| Fine salt | To taste |
| Extra virgin olive oil | A drizzle |
| Puff pastry sheets | 12 small squares |

Instructions:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by preparing the goat cheese cream. In a bowl, add the goat cheese (caprino) and use a fork to mash it into a smooth, creamy consistency. |
| 2 | Finely chop the mint and dill herbs. Add the herbs to the goat cheese mixture and mix well to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. For a creamier texture, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. |
| 3 | Next, slice the prosciutto into strips about 1 cm wide. |
| 4 | Carefully roll each prosciutto strip into a tight “rose” shape, creating small rosettes. |
| 5 | Place the puff pastry sheets on a baking tray. You can either bake them in a preheated oven according to package instructions or prepare them ahead of time by cutting them into the desired size. |
| 6 | Once the puff pastry is ready, spread a small amount of the goat cheese mixture on top of each puff pastry square. |
| 7 | Place one prosciutto “rose” on each puff pastry square, and garnish with a fresh mint leaf and a sprig of dill for an elegant touch. |
| 8 | Serve the prosciutto roselline on classic puff pastry fresh from the oven or at room temperature. Enjoy! |
These prosciutto roselline with goat cheese cream on puff pastry are a simple yet elegant dish that combines the creaminess of goat cheese with the aromatic freshness of mint and dill, balanced by the salty richness of prosciutto. Perfect for your next appetizer spread!
