Prosciutto Goat Cheese Rolls with Fig Preserves and Arugula

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 6 ounces soft goat cheese, at room temperature
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 12 slices (not paper-thin) prosciutto, halved crosswise
  • 1⁄2 cup fig preserves (I used Just Jan’s Kadota Fig Fruit Spread)
  • 1⁄2 bunch arugula, trimmed
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Whisk oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a small bowl and set aside. Mix goat cheese and garlic together in another small bowl and set aside.

  2. Spread a thin layer of the goat cheese mixture on each piece of prosciutto, spread a thin layer of fig preserves over cheese, and top with 1–2 arugula leaves. Drizzle with some of the lemon vinaigrette and season to taste with pepper. Roll prosciutto up around filling and arrange on serving platter, seam side down. Garnish platter with parsley, if you like.
