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. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel Ingredients 1 (4-oz.) pkg. sliced prosciutto (8 slices) 2 small (6 oz. each) fresh peaches 3 Tbsp. honey 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar 3/4 tsp. vinegar-based hot sauce (such as Texas Pete) 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1 Tbsp. torn fresh mint leaves Creamy goat cheese, for serving Directions Gather ingredients: Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel 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. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel 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. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel 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. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel Slide crispy prosciutto rings off parchment cylinders and let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Discard used parchment cylinders. Repeat with remaining 4 slices prosciutto. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel Make hot honey sauce: Cut peaches into 16 even wedges (about 1/2-inch thick). Whisk together honey, vinegar, hot sauce, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel Assemble: Carefully insert 1 peach wedge into each prosciutto ring. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel Brush 1 side of wrapped peaches with honey mixture and transfer to a serving platter, brushed side up. Hannah Hufham; Food Stylist: Nicole Hopper; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel Drizzle with any remaining honey mixture and sprinkle with mint. Serve with goat cheese.
