Ingredients for Bresaola Pinwheels
- 7.8 oz bresaola (in slices)
- 5.5 oz mozzarella
- 4 leaves basil (fresh)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper (freshly ground)
- a few drops extra virgin olive oil (to be used before serving)
Useful Tools

- Plastic Wrap
Preparation of Bresaola Pinwheels
Start by draining the mozzarella, then finely chop it and place it in a bowl. Add the torn basil, salt, pepper, and mix with two spoons. Set aside.
Lay the bresaola slices slightly overlapping on a sheet of parchment paper until they form a rectangle of bresaola.
Spread the seasoned mozzarella evenly over the bresaola.
Start rolling from the short side to form a roll, seal with parchment paper to form a candy shape, then wrap with plastic wrap, tightening it well. Place the bresaola roll in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
After chilling in the fridge, remove the roll, unwrap the plastic wrap and parchment paper, and with a sharp knife, cut into pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving plate, drizzle with olive oil, and serve—they’re ready to enjoy!
