Prosciutto Havarti Spinach Bundles

Delicious Prosciutto Havarti Spinach Bundles Recipe – Creamy Havarti, swimming with sauteed spinach and prosciutto wrapped in a delicate puff pastry.

Cocktail hour here, means little trays of cheese, appetizers and cocktails. We enjoy cocktail hour with my parents at least once a month (even though they enjoy it everyday and I am not kidding!).

We always have at least 5 different varieties of cheese, and we always make sure they are Wisconsin Cheese, because there clearly is a difference.

The finest milk, produces the finest cheese which in turn means absolute decadence with each bite.

We also try to throw in an appetizer or two. One of our favorites are these Prosciutto Havarti Spinach Bundles.

There are just some things that make a recipe. Often it is a simple ingredient, and this case… cheese. Havarti Cheese.

One of my favorites.

I have never known much about Havarti cheese except it is good and my mom and dad serve it during cocktail hour all the time. Since I use it so often, I wanted to learn more.

I learned that Havarti is a milder version of German Tilsit. And I also learned that many cheesemakers in Wisconsin produce a similar cheese, but the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a special Wisconsin-style Havarti® that is firmer in texture and more buttery in flavor than other types.

 I did not realize that Havarti now comes both plain and flavored. I need to find some of the flavored variety, because I would even think that would take this simple appetizer recipe up a notch.

My grandma used to make these for family functions, and I really was not sure exactly what she used.

So years ago, I sort of played around and came up with this, based on several recipes I had seen.

The key to these Prosciutto Havarti Spinach Bundles, is that they do not have to have Havarti. You can use any melt-able Wisconsin cheese you like. You can also add different greens if you would like. If you are into Kale, add it.

But let us just get to the deliciousness that is this easy appetizer recipe, and thank the heavens for the cheesy goodness that makes them incredible!

We think these Prosciutto Havarti Spinach Bundles are delicious and we think you will too!
