OMG! Just loved it! I reduced it, to make a small amuse-bouche for DH and myself. Outstanding flavor and texture, and just WOW with the presentation! I know that I'm fixing these for my friends the next time we get together. So glad I found this - really enjoyed this rendition of fruit and cheese, two of my faves! Thanks for sharing, Adopted Parisian! -
Great combo, all individual flavors we love. The name might leave something to be desired, but the dish does not. I used 4 slices of crisped prosciutto, maybe about a fourth of the cheese (just sprinkled it on) and omitted the honey (personal preference) The two of us ate this as an appetizer, but I am sure you could stretch it to 4 people. I bet this would be even better on slices of green apple, which would give it crisp, tart and less sweet (it would also be sturdier picking it up). You can't go wrong with this yummy appetizer!

My husband and I are pastors who work with college students and young adults and we absolutely love it! The students are my "kids" and constantly teach me new things and keep my life interesting. I have posted many recipes here at their behest. Sometimes I think they just love me 'cause they know that can come over and get a fresh homecooked meal -a great break from their sketchy college cafeteria food!
I grew up in a beautiful, loud, fun, albeit slightly crazy, Spanish-Italian family where cooking is not just about putting food on the table -it is an art. An intense, passionate art of carefully guarded secret recipes.
So cooking is in my blood and I enjoy it immensely. I love having dinner parties just so I can whip up fancy new recipes. And the college students are always happy to be my guests!
