👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the caciocavallo cheese into thin slices, ready to form the centre of the rolls.

  2. 2

    Lay a slice of baked ham flat and place a slice of caciocavallo and some sage leaves in the centre. Roll it up gently and secure with a toothpick or cotton thread. Repeat this for each slice of ham.

  3. 3

    Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the rolls and cook them over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and the caciocavallo is melted.

  4. 4

    Remove the toothpicks, serve the Ham and Caciocavallo Cheese Rolls, and enjoy.

💡 Tips and Variations

For a twist, try adding a dash of black pepper to enhance the savoury notes. You can experiment by substituting caciocavallo with another semi-hard cheese like provolone if desired.

📦 Storage

  • • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, covered well to prevent them from absorbing any odours.
  • • For longer storage, freeze the uncooked rolls, separated by parchment paper, for up to 1-2 months.
  • • Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes or in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat until heated through.

🍷 Pairing

Pair these delicious rolls with a glass of Contea di Sclafani Grillo. This Sicilian white wine's dry, structured profile complements the rich flavours of the dish, offering a refreshing balance.
