We may have created the most genius appetizer ever: Crispy prosciutto rings wrap around juicy peach slices for the ultimate sweet-and-savory treat. Each slice then gets brushed with a homemade hot honey mixture for a subtle kick and added sweetness to balance the intense prosciutto. A sprinkle of fresh mint adds a pop of brightness, and creamy goat cheese spooned on the peaches just doubles down on that umami flavor.

Slice prosciutto:
Carefully peel 4 prosciutto slices apart and place on cutting board in an even layer (reserve remaining prosciutto in refrigerator until ready to use). Using a very sharp knife, halve each slice lengthwise to create 8 long strips.

-
Roll prosciutto strips:
Roll 2 (12- x 18-inch) sheets of parchment paper to form 2 (1 1/4-inch diameter, 12-inch long) cylinders; seal ends with paper clips to prevent them from unraveling. Carefully wrap prosciutto strips around parchment cylinders, arranging strips 1-inch apart with seams aligned (4 strips per cylinder). Remove paper clips.

Microwave prosciutto:
Place, seam-side down, on a microwave-safe plate lined with 2 layers of paper towels. Microwave on HIGH for 40 seconds. Rotate cylinders, then continue microwaving on HIGH in 10-second intervals, until prosciutto begins to crisp, about 20 to 30 seconds more. Transfer to a clean paper towel-lined plate. Let cool slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

Slide crispy prosciutto rings off parchment cylinders and let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Discard used parchment cylinders. Repeat with remaining 4 slices prosciutto.
