Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Pretty Prosciutto Roses. Wash and dry the basil leaves and cherry tomatoes, then slice the tomatoes in half. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. Lay out slices of prosciutto on a clean surface, slightly overlapping them to create a wide base. Each rose will require about 2-3 slices of prosciutto.
  3. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the prosciutto slices. Place a fresh basil leaf and a half cherry tomato at one end of the prosciutto layer. Roll the prosciutto up to create a rose.
  4. Insert a skewer or toothpick through the center of each rose to hold it together.
  5. Arrange mixed greens on a serving platter for a garnish bed.
  6. Drizzle balsamic reduction over the roses or serve it as a dipping option.
  7. Serve your Pretty Prosciutto Roses immediately for best flavor and texture.
