Ingredients:
For 4 portions of \u201cMini Involtini Spilla\u201d (inspired by the shape of a safety pin):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8 slices of bresaola or raw ham<\/p>\n\n\n\n
200 g of herb spreadable cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 carrot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cucumber<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 courgette<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 slices of wholemeal sandwich bread<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon poppy seeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few toothpicks or chives to close<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prepare the vegetables:
Wash the carrot, cucumber, and zucchini. Cut them into very thin sticks, about 5 cm long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toast the bread:
Lightly toast the bread slices and cut them into strips. Brush with a drizzle of oil and sprinkle with poppy seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roll out the crust:
Arrange the bresaola slices on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of cheese on each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make the \u201csecret hole\u201d:
Place some crunchy vegetables and a bread stick in the center, then roll it up tightly, leaving a small empty space at the ends (resemble the pin hole).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close the roll:
Use a toothpick or a chive sprig to secure each roll like a \u201cfood pin\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serve immediately or store:
Arrange on a serving platter and serve cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serving and Storage Tips:
Perfect for an elegant aperitif, a finger food buffet, or a protein snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to make them vegetarian, replace the bresaola with iceberg lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exotic: Add avocado and a drop of soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet & Savory: Use thin pears and gorgonzola instead of herb cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
