Prosciutto, Pear and Gruyère Canapés
Cook Time:
4 minutes
Servings:
10 pieces
Total Time:
15 minutes
Product:
Vortex Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 10 slices prosciutto
- ½ block Gruyère
- 1 pear
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 sprigs thyme
Instructions
- Cut the Gruyère into thin rectangular pieces, about ½ cm thick. Slice the pear into matching rectangles so they sit neatly on top of the cheese.
- Lay a slice of prosciutto flat on a chopping board. Place a piece of cheese at one end, top with a slice of pear, and add a few leaves of fresh thyme. Fold the sides of the prosciutto inward, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling and form a neat little parcel. Repeat with all 10 slices.
- Mix 2 tbsp honey with 1 tbsp Dijon mustard to make your glaze.
- On the air fryer, select Air Fry at 205°C (400°F) and set the timer for 4 minutes. Place the prosciutto parcels into the basket, drizzle lightly with the honey-mustard mixture, and air fry for 4 minutes, turning halfway and brushing with a little more glaze as needed.
- Skewer each parcel with a toothpick to make them easy to pick up. Drizzle over any remaining glaze and scatter with extra thyme leaves. Serve immediately while warm.
- These can be assembled in advance and kept chilled – simply air fry them just before serving for super-quick, party-ready canapés.
