Crispy Prosciutto Pinwheels

swissms's Note:

A former coworker gave me this recipe years ago. It is a delicious appetizer, perfect for parties. Always enjoyed by all. Be sure to use Champagne mustard as it has a mild flavor and compliments the prosciutto nicely. Do not use Dijon mustard as it will compound the saltiness of the prosciutto. You may want to taste test your prosciutto before using to ensure it is not overly salty.

These came out looking so good, but after taking one bite, the saltiness of the prosciutto was so overwhelming that we just couldn't eat them. So I'm not leaving any stars, because it just may be personal preference. Thanks for letting us try your recipe.
