C – Sometimes eating vegetarian makes me crave bacon.
Not that gross soy/vegetarian bacon either. I want the real stuff. Luckily, I am not going full-on vegetarian. I can splurge once in a while. I will be good to myself, though. So, I will use prosciutto. I guess that’s healthier. It’s thinner.
To balance out my craving, I needed to put something healthy in it. Thank goodness peaches are in season. They are the perfect paring.
I think this peach prosciutto wraps with some basil in the center really tasted great. I couldn’t believe everything blended so well together.
The sweet peaches and prosciutto, with an added freshness of basil, really were delicious.
Really simple to make. Of course, I had to crisp-up the prosciutto and make it a little more like bacon. It was amazing.
