Parmesan Prosciutto Balls

This recipe ain’t pretty, but it’s really tasty and easy; Prosciutto, parmesan, eggs, cream…

That’s it!

I’ve just come back from Parma in Italy, home of some incredible food. None more so than that heavenly combination of aged prosciutto ham and my personal addiction: parmesan cheese.

Out there we were eating these ingredients on their own as a meal in themselves, unadultered. Sat in a sunny plaza watching the world go by with an aperetif, things don’t get much better.

When we got back home I was daydreaming, thinking back to those ingredients and their rich deliciousness.

But it wasn’t sunny…

There weren’t any plazas…

In fact we were in the middle of an unseasonable cold snap, and so whilst I wanted those flavours I also wanted something warm and keto friendly that I could snack on looking out at the rainy day outside.

These little cups are super quick to make, and puff up in the oven to make delicious little savoury bites. Just make sure don’t over fill each cup as they expand fast!

Make sure to let these cool down slightly before removing from the moulds, it’s a lot easier!
