TOTAL TIME

30 minutes

15 servings

Crispy on the outside, warm at the center, with just the right pull from the cheese and a salty bite. Each one is rich, balanced, and satisfying. The perfect snack for any occasion. Nothing fancy here. Just roll them up, dip them in egg and breadcrumbs, and fry until golden.

STEP 1

Trim the crusts off each slice of bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten them completely.

STEP 2

Lay a slice of prosciutto cotto and Swiss cheese on each piece. Roll up tightly like a cigar.

STEP 3

Dip each roll in flour, then in beaten egg seasoned with salt and pepper, then breadcrumbs. 

STEP 4

Repeat the egg and breadcrumb step a second time to seal the edges (sides) and add crunch.

STEP 5

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the involtini until golden and crispy on all sides. Work in batches and don’t overcrowd the pan.

STEP 6

Drain on paper towels and serve hot while the cheese is melty.

Pair them with a chilled glass of Gratsi White and you’ve got the perfect snack on the table in minutes. Buon appetito!
