Prosciutto Wrapped Cheese Ball
Make on FrescoI can't think of anything more decadent than bacon-wrapped cheese, other than cooking it of course! This will amaze you. It is so easy to make, and very impressive. It can be done well in advance, so be ready for guests anytime and whack one of these into the oven at a moment's notice. You will be the culinary toast of the town. Try and find a less salty proscuitto...(is there such a thing??) Serve with plenty of crusty bread and crackers of choice.
