The GRILLED APRICOTS WITH STRACCHINO, PROSCIUTTO AND HONEY are a very quick, simple and tasty appetizer, ideal to serve on warm summer days. With their sweet-and-salty flavor they are truly delicious, able to tease the taste buds with every bite. They can be prepared in a few minutes and in large quantities if your guests should unexpectedly increase, as sometimes happens in summer with informal meals.
The dish pairs a sweet fruit with a slight tang, a creamy cheese and a well-seasoned aged prosciutto: flavor, textures and even color create a true symphony for the eyes and the palate. In addition, the appetizer (which is also perfect paired with sparkling wine as an aperitif) remains notably fresh, always appreciated in the summer months, and it is gluten-free, unlike the toasts often offered at the start of a meal. In short, an original, fun and delicious idea!

Steps
The preparation of the GRILLED APRICOTS WITH STRACCHINO, PROSCIUTTO AND HONEY is very simple and quick.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Halve the apricots, remove the pit and brush the inside of the apricots with oil.
Place the apricots on the grill, with the oiled side down, and grill them for a few minutes or until slightly softened and showing the classic grill marks.
Arrange the apricots on a serving plate and garnish each with a teaspoon of stracchino (you can also use buffalo ricotta, brie, a soft blue cheese or gorgonzola), half a slice of prosciutto rolled up, then finish with a drizzle of wildflower honey and a grind of black pepper.
Enjoy the GRILLED APRICOTS WITH STRACCHINO, PROSCIUTTO AND HONEY warm or cold.
