Moxie's Mozzarella & Gorgonzola Rolls image

I am honored to have adopted this recipe from Moxie. Here is her original description: This is one of my favorite party appetizers. Serve it on a plate with marinated cherry tomatoes in the center. The 2 hour cook time is really the time it takes to chill before slicing.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-12 Appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 ounces mozzarella cheese
2 cups mascarpone cheese
6 ounces gorgonzola or 6 ounces other blue cheese
1/2 cup packed torn fresh basil leaf

Steps:

  • Put a piece of plastic wrap on a flat counter.
  • Cut mozzarella into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in rows on the plastic wrap, overlapping by 1 inch.
  • Place another sheet of plastic wrap on top, and with a rolling pin, carefully flatten the cheese into a sheet about 1/4-inch thick (you're shooting for a rectangle about 10x13 inches).
  • Take the top sheet of plastic off, and spread the mascarpone cheese over mozzarella.
  • Crumble Gorgonzola on top and sprinkle the basil on top.
  • Using the plastic wrap to help you lift the cheese, carefully roll the cheese into a log.
  • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate log at least 2 hours.
  • To serve, cut into slices about 3/4 inch thick.
