Description
Jarlsberg’s supple, firm texture combines beautifully with apples and pancetta in these effortless canapés.
Ingredients
- 12 slices of pancetta
- 2 washed apples with core removed
- 250 ml (1 cup) of water
- 15 ml (1 tbsp.) of lemon juice
- 12 slices of Jarlsberg cheese of 0.5 cm (1/4") thickness
- Fresh watercress for garnish
- Pomegranate for garnish
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 200oC (400oF). Arrange slices of pancetta on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place on top rack. Cook for about 5 minutes or until pancetta is golden and crusty.
- Place pancetta chips on paper towel to absorb excess fat. Reserve.
- Slice apple thinly and dip into a bowl of fresh cold water with lemon to prevent oxidation.
- Arrange appetizers on a serving platter. Place apple slices first, then pancetta and top with Jarlsberg cheese. Garnish with fresh watercress and some pomegranate.
