Posted on 11. Jan, 2011 by admin in Antipasto, Appetizers and Snacks Recipes

This recipe is a festive appetizer to try for any occasions! It’s so easy to make and the taste is simply excellent.

INGREDIENTS

* 12 thin slices provolone cheese (6 to 7 oz.)
* 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese, softened (2 oz.)
* 1 Tbsp. milk
* 12 thin slices soppresata or premium Genoa salami (about 4 oz.)
* 12 large fresh basil leaves
* Assorted crackers or flatbread (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  • Leave provolone cheese at room temperature for half hour.
  • Mix Gorgonzola and milk in a small bowl. For the first of two rolls, overlap 6 slices of provolone over a waxed paper, forming a rectangle. Place 6 slices of salami and 6 basil leaves. Spoon half of the Gorgonzola mixture over the basil leaves. Holding the short end, roll the layers, using the waxed paper for lifting and rolling. Use the waxed paper for wrapping and set it on a platter with the seam side facing down. Perform the same procedure for the other batch.
  • Place the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator, chilling for half hour or preferably overnight. Cut the rolls to half inch slices and serve with crackers or flat bread.
  • Makes 10 servings.
