Category: Appetizers
Servings: 12

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Speck (smoked ham) 12 slices
Robiola cheese 300g
Fresh thyme 6 sprigs
Fresh basil 6 leaves
Sweet paprika 1 teaspoon
Chive stems 12 pieces
Fresh chives 6 sprigs

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Robiola Cream:
    • Begin by finely chopping the fresh thyme, basil, and chives.
    • Place the robiola cheese in a large mixing bowl, and gently fold in the finely chopped herbs until well incorporated.
    • Add one teaspoon of sweet paprika to the mixture, stirring it through to infuse the cream with flavor.
  2. Prepare the Speck Cones:
    • Take each slice of speck and fold it to create a cone shape. To keep the cone together, gently press the bottom end with your finger.
    • Make sure the side of the speck with visible pepper is on the outside for an added visual appeal.
  3. Fill the Cones:
    • Once the cones are formed, fill each with the robiola cream mixture, using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip for an elegant finish.
  4. Secure the Cones:
    • After filling the cones, tie each one securely with a fresh chive stem, ensuring the filling stays in place.
    • For an extra touch, tie a small torcello (Italian bread twist) to each chive to add texture and flavor to your presentation.
  5. Serving:
    • Your delicious Speck Fagottini Filled with Robiola Cheese and Torcelli are now ready to be served! These bite-sized appetizers are a delightful blend of savory speck and creamy robiola cheese, perfect for a sophisticated appetizer or party treat.
