Prosciutto & Blue Cheese Appetizer Spoons

Photo: French Cooking For Dummies

Ingredients

3 prosciutto slices

6 shallots (or 2 onions)

2 ounces (55 g) of blue cheese

2 tablespoons of raspberry vinegar (or red wine)

1 1/2 tablespoons of butter

1 tablespoon of granulated sugar

Salt & pepper

Preparation

Peel and chop shallots.

Melt butter in a frying pan over low heat. (Be careful it doesn’t get brown, it’s very bad for health.)

When butter has melt, add chopped shallots. Leave covered, stirring frequently, for about 10 mn or until translucent.

Add sugar and stir. Let shallots caramelize for a couple of minutes, then add raspberry vinegar. At that time, you should probably go for medium heat. It’s important when adding alcohol to get it to a (smooth ;-) ) boil so the strong taste evaporates. When the strong smell is gone, you’re done. Take pan off heat.

Cut prosciutto into small pieces.

Dice blue cheese.

Fill the bottom of your Chinese soup spoons with caramelized shallots. Add a dice of blue cheese and top with prosciutto pieces.

Serve right away.
