Prosciutto Wrapped Breadsticks with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach {Gluten-Free}

Prosciutto wrapped Breadsticks with sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese and spinach makes for the perfect appetizer or brunch addition. No cooking required and only a few minutes to put together.

First off I have to admit that I absolutely love prosciutto and even more so these proscuitto wrapped breadsticks.

And luckily for me there’s an amazing wine and cheese shop right down the street from me – Calvert Woodley (in case you’re familiar with it).

Of course at $22 a pound I can’t afford to eat it at every meal – but there are occasions for it.

And when my parents came to visit (who also love prosciutto) I felt it was the perfect occasion for a purchase. And I figured that 1 pound would last us a good long while – not the case – the 4 of us (D included) gobbled up all the prosciutto within 2 days.

Probably half a pound of it we ate with these breadsticks  (which I also bought at Calvert Woodley).

I served this for breakfast (which was actually more like brunch since we didn’t finish eating until 1pm) but these would be great for a dinner appetizer as well.

I mixed the ricotta with the goat cheese to make it more of a spreadable cheese and then added chopped sundried tomatoes and spinach leaves. A great flavor combination.

And easy to grab (thanks to those breadsticks). Overall a great combination of  all the food groups – dairy, vegetable, grain, protein and fruit (if that’s what you count a tomato as).

I didn’t really measure anything out as I made this but I’m sure you get the idea and can come up with your own proportions of each ingredient.
