FAQ

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the cups up to 1 day ahead and store covered in the refrigerator. Bake when ready to serve for best results.

What if my prosciutto tears when forming cups?

Overlap torn pieces to cover gaps. The prosciutto will shrink and firm up during baking to hold its shape.

How long do these keep after baking?

Store baked cups in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven to crisp the prosciutto again.
