Instructions
1
Start by ensuring all your ingredients, except for the prosciutto and black pepper, are cut into similar-sized pieces for even distribution of flavors.
2
Purchase thinly sliced havarti cheese from the deli. Cut each slice into long strips, then divide each strip in half widthwise to create pieces that will fit perfectly in the roll.
3
Prepare the pear by cutting it into quarters, removing the core, and slicing each quarter into long thin wedges. You'll end up with more slices than needed, which makes for a delicious snack for the chef!
4
Lay a slice of prosciutto flat on a clean surface. At one end, place two strips of havarti cheese, a wedge of pear, and a red pepper stick.
5
Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6
Carefully roll the prosciutto around the filling, making sure to keep it snug. If necessary, secure with a toothpick for a more stable hold, but typically the prosciutto should hold itself together well.
7
For a more manageable bite, you can slice the rolls in half after rolling.
8
Refrigerate the rolls for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Keep them chilled during serving for the best taste and experience.
