• Crisp, Crunchy Prosciutto: Better than Bacon

    posted October 30th, 2007  :: Family Favorites, Pork, The Recipes: :: 

    Roast sliced prosciutto for a crispy treat


    Two questions for a mom/food blogger/personal chef/recipe writer/household planner having one of those weeks that are making her very tired:

    Question: What is the one thing you toss into your cart each and every time you shop at Costco.
    A    nswer: One pound packages of sliced prosciutto.

    Question: And why is that?
    Answer: Because when there’s nothing much in the house to cook, we can always munch on oven-roasted prosciutto. This stuff might be better than bacon-flavored potato chips.

    Question: Just one more question – how do you make it?
    Answer: Just have a look at the easy recipe below. I’m going to have a little nap now.

    Crisp Oven-Roasted Prosciutto

    12 slices prosciutto
    Salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    Olive oil

    Arrange the prosciutto on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Roast in a 400-degree oven 12-15 minutes (keep you eye on it – it browns quickly) until crisp. Cool.

    Crumble over pasta, eggs, mashed potatoes or sandwiches. Or just eat it plain, right out of a bowl.

      Another reason I wish we had a Costco close to us. (and that S ate prosciutto).

      Liza, maybe we can make a ducky version. I’ve always wanted to try that.

      Thanks, Deborah. I bet there are hundreds of ways!

      Kalyn, it’s a great deal – you’ll love it.

      Emilie, me too!

      Jenny, yes! I believe I can say that prosciutto ROCKS.

      Susan, I guess pork lovers cannot be reformed.
      You gotta keep them happy!

      Karen, I emailed you but I’m not sure if you got it or not. The PC was acting weird.
