Ingredients
  

For the Bonbons
  • 6 ounces Soft Goat Cheese (Chèvre) Room temperature
  • 18 slices Prosciutto di Parma Thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives Finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground
Optional Glaze/Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon Honey For drizzling

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the room temperature goat cheese, minced chives, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. Lay the prosciutto slices flat on a clean cutting board. If slices are very large, you may carefully halve them lengthwise.
  3. Take approximately 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture and roll it lightly between your palms to form a small oblong shape or cylinder, about 1 inch long.
  4. Carefully wrap one slice of prosciutto around each log of goat cheese, ensuring the cheese is completely covered. If necessary, use a small dab of extra cheese mixture to seal the edge.
  5. Arrange the wrapped bonbons seam-side down on a serving platter. Chill for at least 15 minutes to help them set before serving.
  6. Just before serving, drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze and a thin thread of honey, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

These cookbonbons are best served shortly after assembly. For an optional warming element, you can briefly broil them (2 minutes max) right before serving, though traditionally they are served cold or at room temperature to preserve the texture of the goat cheese.
