Preparation

Step 1

Lay out individual slices of prosciutto side by side (but well separated on a clean dry surface. Short edges should be in a horizontal position. Spread each slice entirely and evenly with about 1-1/3 tablespoon of herb cream cheese.

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of fresh dill over cream cheese, covering bottom half of each prosciutto slice.

At lower edge, arrange one entire log of heart of palm horizontally across dill and cream cheese.

Tightly roll prosciutto around heart of palm, gently stretching the prosciutto along the length of the heart of palm and expelling trapped air. Trim off any protruding heart of palm.

Wrap rolls, seam side down, in plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Before serving, remove rolls from refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Arrange rolls with seam side down; add a line of cream cheese along the top of each roll and press nuts into cream cheese.

With a sharp knife, cut each roll crosswise into 5 equal slices.

To serve, artistically arrange slices in a standing position.
