Prosciutto, Mint Cheese ball Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on June 12, 2019 in Appetizers, Mediterranean cuisine

Hiii,

How is everyone?  June it is still considered to be Spring and not Summer, but for some reason I always thought of June as the beginning of the Summer.  The weather conditions are lets say awful, cold, and raining and just blahhhh.  Supposedly this is how it is going to be throughout the Summer according to the weather person.  We are right In the middle of  the week, and many things to doooo and verrryy quickly.  Along, with everything else I am doing I am also studying for the  TEFL Teaching Certificate Exam in September.  There is so much to read and remember!!  (I sometimes think I should have waited to start this later in the year).

So, these delicious  Cheeseballs were just a quick mix together of ingredients, and puff done.  If you can’t find Ricotta Cheese in your neighborhood, you can always replace it with Cream Cheese, I have done that myself a few times…The taste is just as good as it is with the Ricotta Cheese. 🙂

Have a great day today!!!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup (250 grams) Ricotta Cheese or Cream Cheese

1/4 (60 grams) cup Proscuitto

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Sounds like busy busy times indeed. You'll ace the exam, and you've got plenty of time to prepare (though as we know all too well, September will be here before we know it!) How have you found the TEFL course? Are you doing it online? The cheeseballs sound, and look, delicious! I've never made them so I wouldn't mind giving them a try. Nom nom. A little comforting food is good given the cold yucky weather at the moment, it's definitely not June-appropriate! xx
