Crispy Prosciutto Cups With Pear Filling image

I found this recipe online (several sites have it) and am putting here for safe-keeping. I made this for Thanksgiving 2015, super easy and looked impressive. The prosciutto cups can be made the night before and stored in a plastic bag in the fridge; I also found that when leaving them to cool, the bottoms became a bit soggy (all grease pooled there), so maybe try cooling upside down or flipping them after a few minutes.

Time 25m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

200 g prosciutto or 200 g serrano ham
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 -1 1/2 medium pear
paprika, chives, etc. as garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1) Cut ham into squares large enough to fit into mini muffin tin. Note: the ham will shrink, so it's ok if it sticks out a bit (although try to make it stick up, so it doesn't overlap with neighboring ham cups); I also saw this done with 2-4 strips overlaid in a criss cross.
  • Bake at 375 for approx 10 minutes, until warm and stiff.
  • Remove cups from oven and place on paper towel to cool and drain grease (see note above).
  • Cut up pear into small cubes; mix with lemon juice and fill cups as much as you want.
  • Garnish with colorful spices and/or herbs (sweet paprika and chives shown in picture).
