How to Create Perfect Prosciutto Wrapped Boursin Cheese Bundles

Wrapping Technique

Final Presentation

Baking Tips

For the cleanest cuts, use dental floss to slice the chilled Boursin cheese.

If Boursin is unavailable, substitute with goat cheese mixed with finely chopped herbs and garlic.

Ask your deli to slice the prosciutto extra thin for the most delicate texture.

For a warm variation, place bundles on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes until prosciutto edges begin to crisp.

Prepare up to 4 hours ahead and store covered in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature 15 minutes before serving.

Try different Boursin flavors like Black Pepper or Shallot & Chive for varied taste experiences.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

2 packages (5.2 oz each) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor), chilled

12 thin slices prosciutto di Parma

1/4 cup fig jam or honey

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)

24 small fresh basil leaves

Freshly cracked black pepper

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Flaky sea salt (optional)

Toothpicks for securing (optional)

Instructions

Chill the Boursin cheese in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to make it firmer and easier to cut.

Cut each package of Boursin cheese into 12 equal pieces (approximately 1-inch cubes).

Lay out the prosciutto slices on a clean work surface and cut each slice in half lengthwise, creating 24 long strips.

Place a small basil leaf on each prosciutto strip, followed by a cube of Boursin cheese.

Top each cheese cube with a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of fig jam or honey.

Sprinkle a few pine nuts on top if using, followed by a pinch of thyme leaves and a tiny amount of lemon zest.

Carefully wrap the prosciutto around the cheese bundle, overlapping the ends underneath.

If the bundles don't hold together well, secure with a toothpick.

Arrange the completed bundles on a serving platter.

Just before serving, drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with chopped chives, and add a few grinds of fresh black pepper.

For an optional finishing touch, add a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
