Prosciutto Wrapped Plum Bruschetta

Prosciutto Wrapped Plum Bruscetta

Is there anything better than crusty bread and melty cheese? Ok, I can think of a few things. Portillo’s chocolate cake, Crab legs, brownies to name a few. But really, crusty bread and melty cheese is right at the top of my list of favorite foods. There is something about crusty bread and melty cheese that screams comfort food for me. It is like grilled cheese for fancy people. I love to think up different foods to pair with bread and cheese. The options are endless.

 

There are not too many fruits that I enjoy cooked but plums are one of them. Cooking them brings out the sweetness without turning the plums to mush. I don’t like mushy food, especially fruit. Pineapple is also excellent grilled. The prosciutto brings a little saltiness while the balsamic brings the tangy and pine nuts bring the crunch. The cheese obviously brings the gooey. Much needed. Cheese almost always makes things better. Altogether, these ingredients combine for a perfect little bite.
