Prosciutto Wrapped Blue Cheese Pistachio Meatballs

Several weeks ago my sister was talking about a dinner her and her boyfriend were having, which included prosciutto wrapped burgers. I thought, well damn, that sounds good! It had been on my mind ever since and I happened to have prosciutto, so I picked up some grassfed beef and decided to give it a whirl. Per usual I thought, hmmm, what else can I add? The result was fabulous.

Prosciutto Wrapped Blue Cheese Pistachio Meatballs

  • 1 lb grassfed ground beef
  • 1 pkg prosciutto
  • Fresh chopped chives
  • 1/4 cup (roughly) blue cheese crumbles
  • Diced red onion (to your liking)
  • 1/4 Pistachios
  • 1/8 cup coconut aminos
  • Kosher salt/pepp (sprinkle in the mixture and on top of meatballs)

Put all ingredients except for prosciutto into a bowl and mix well with a granny fork (if you don’t have one, get one!). Form medium sized meatballs, and wrap each in prosciutto, placing each wrapped meatball in a glass pyrex baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on top. Bake at 350 degrees until done to your liking/temperature. The prosciutto crisps perfectly 🙂 Very easily made and a nice change-up from your typical dinner meat!

Apple Egg Scramble

I always buy too many apples. Always. I also don’t let food go to waste, therefore, I end up with lots of soft apples. They’re great for cooking, baking and sometimes even salads.

Apple Egg Scramble

  • 1 soft apple, diced into small pieces
  • Diced red onion
  • Handful of fresh basil, chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • Blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 TBSP ghee
  • Ground black pepper
  • Truffle salt

Start by melting 1 TBSP of ghee in a pan, and add the red onion. Saute until they begin to turn transparent. Add the chopped basil and 3 eggs and continue scrambling until eggs are almost cooked. Toss the diced apple in, stirring until it’s warm, but stays crunchy. Top with blue cheese crumbles and a sprinkle of truffle salt.

Don’t worry soft apple, I still love you.
