What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Food Junkie Favorites: Spinach Prosciutto Flatbread! As the King of Hams, prosciutto reigns. Its savory and aromatic flavor is a result of a slow-aged process known well by the Italians. You will immediately notice the paper thin velvety texture of prosciutto. The sea salting process has a regional influence on the curing results as well. Many remain trade secrets for all time. You and I reap the benefits by shopping around. Always keep a little prosciutto on hand. It can mean the difference between ho-hum and WOW!
SPINACH PROSCIUTTO FLATBREAD
Ingredients:
1 prepared flatbread
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 asparagus spears wrapped in prosciutto, cut-up*
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup spinach leaves
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Brush flatbread with one tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Spread Greek yogurt over flatbread. Dot with goat cheese crumbles. Layer shredded mozzarella over all. In a skillet over medium low heat add one tablespoon olive oil, cut up prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears, tomatoes, and spinach. Stir with tongs to coat. Cover for 1-2 minutes or until spinach turns bright green. Spoon over flatbread. Bake assembled flatbread 2-3 minutes in oven. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

With prosciutto, I usually have to overbuy the stuff because most of the time I just grab a few slices whenever I open the fridge. But this recipe is definitely worth the overbuying. Fantastico!
