Ham Appetizers

Ham Appetizers are a no-cook appetizer recipe. These are bites of cured ham that wrap around mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula. They are ideal for aperitifs and buffets, but why not, they could also be served as a light summer main course. This recipe can also be prepared the night before; they are quite economical and quick to make. If you’re looking for other finger foods, I recommend the Parisian muffins, the savory trio, or the pizza rolls. If you liked the recipe, hurry up and make it!
