Broiled Bocconcini di Pura Capra Wrapped in Speck

Ingredients

  • 4 4 disk Bocconcini di Pura Capra cheese
  • 4 4 slice paper-thin speck, prosciutto, or pancetta
  • crusty bread, for serving
  • arugula/rocket, for serving (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to broil/grill.

Remove the paper from the cheese and wrap the meat around them like a ribbon around a present. Place on a baking sheet/tray and broil/grill for 3 to 5 minutes, until the meat is crisp and the cheese has begun to bubble.

Remove and serve immediately with crusty bread and perhaps some fresh arugula/rocket, if desired.
