50 pieces 50 ways #10: Jalapeño Cream Cheese Stuffed Prosciutto Wrapped Nuggets

I was playing mario party  and I was inspired to make something that reflects the fanciness of italians  and the fun of a party. This dish is like a group of Mcnuggets riding on vespa scooters while yelling through megaphones.

Jalapeño Cream Cheese Stuffed Prosciutto Wrapped Mcnuggets  

Yields 8

You will need

4 oz of Cream Cheese

1 Jalapeño

1 tsp of Sugar

8 slices of prosciutto (fancy italian meat!)

16 Mcnuggets

Olive Oil

1. Slice and dice that jalapeño. Make sure to take out the seeds.

2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, jalapeños, and sugar. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

3. Preheat the oven for 350 degrees

3. If the nuggets are old, you might want to coat them in oil and put them in the oven for 2 minutes.

4.  Place a scoop of the cream cheese mixture on one nugget and then sandwich another nugget on top. Repeat for all nuggets. After, wrap nuggets into prosciutto. If the prosciutto is too wide then you might need to cut or fold the meat so it is not larger than the width of the nugget sandwich.

5. Place in the oven for 3 minutes, then flip nuggets on to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes. 

6. Enjoy warm , ciao bella!
