Recipe for a Perfect Italian Meat and Cheese Snack with a Twist!

This isn't a regular blog post.  
Ok, I do love food.  I also love experimenting and creating dishes. 
So I decided to post my favorite go to snack. You can change it up with your favorite Italian meats. 

This is one I put together and have been doing the last 15 years with people always asking if I will bring this or be having this at a gathering.  

What  you need: 
1. Naan bread or similar chewy texture bread of your liking. 
2. Lemon
3. Fresh basil bunch, leaves left whole
4. Creamy Brie, or good Gorgonzola, or both, or any good aged           cheese you love.
5. High quality prosciutto, sliced thin.

• Cut a lemon in half lengthwise. Then slice the lemon halfs in thin (very important part!) slices.
• Pick basil leaves off stems, leaving them whole
• Let cheese get close to room temperature (brings out the true flavor)
• Arrange all on a platter with the prosciutto
• Warm torn pieces of  naan bread (if desired) and place on platter

My traditional way to eat, spread a little cheese on a piece of naan bread, place a lemon slice on top, prosciutto, then top with a basil leaf.  You can use it to keep everything together when you bite                                                       down. 

I am telling you, I grew up in an Italian family, they just had the old fashion traditional way of eating it. I made this twist because I love the chewy texture (hence why I love naan), lemons, basil, cheese, and prosciutto...so why not try it all together.  And it works!!! Gives all your senses taste of happiness.  Very simple, very                                                                 gourmet, very amazing.  

Glass of  Melbec or Cabernet goes well with this.  Also, Sauvingnon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.  Yes, either red or white!
Ciao! Enjoy!!
