I’ve made these quite a few times and everyone raves about them! I used prosciutto as well! Yummy
These are an amazing appetizer. Always a hit. I use Manchego and wrap them with Prosciutto. A perfect mix of buttery, nutty saltiness!!
Great recipe & adaptable to your preferences. I used cheddar & prosciutto.
