Proscuitto amuse bouche

Prosciutto wrapped around brie and orange supremes


Remove the white rind.  Don't throw it away, but the cheese without it is better for this purpose.

Brie and Prosciutto sliced ultra thin.

Orange Supremes-instructions below

spread out 1 piece of proscuitto and place 1 orange supreme and a rectangle of brie cheese on the short end.

Roll up, done.

Make the rest of them for your platter.

Serve with a few extra supremes for garnish.


How to make Orange Supremes


These are beautiful slices of oranges that have no rind or membrane remaining.
They are wonderful atop curry dishes, orange sauces, or served alone. 

This is accomplished by cutting off the top and bottom of the orange just past the peel.
 Set it on one of the flat sides on your cutting surface.

 Then,using your paring knife, you cut away the remaining peel in strips from top to bottom until all the peel is removed.
 Don't worry if you see additional white membrane or peel, simply cut it away before the next step. 


Look at the sections
in the orange,  holding the orange, cut down the edge of the interior membrane and when you reach the bottom of the section, angle the knife to the right and slice out the supreme into a bowl. 
 Continue until the entire orange is done.  Remember you can use the rest of the orange too, give it a quick squeeze and use the juices in your recipe.
