This Keto Prosciutto Wrapped Brie is one of the easiest dishes I've ever made, but it's bursting with flavor! Who knew that only 3 ingredients could taste so good?
Why You Need To Make This Simple Prosciutto Appetizer
If you've never had Prosciutto Wrapped Brie before, let me introduce you to what could be the best holiday appetizer (maybe even the best appetizer) you've ever tasted. The savory and salty prosciutto pairs perfectly with the creamy, butteriness of the brie. Add in some sugar-free preserves and you've got a sweet, salty, and delightfully low carb appetizer that's sure to wow both you and your guests.
I decided to use sugar-free preserves to make this a low carb appetizer. As for which sugar-free preserves to use, that is entirely up to you. You can serve this with either fig preserves or raspberry preserves but you can use whatever you'd prefer.
You can enjoy this Prosciutto Wrapped Brie with some low carb crackers, some bread, or even just dig straight in with a fork or spoon! You can also use either my Cranberry Chutney or Peach Chutney in place of the preserves. The options are endless, and with so few ingredients, trying it in new ways is as simple as it gets.
One note. Do not try this with bacon, else you will have either raw bacon or overcooked brie. The two have very different cooking times, and I tried and failed twice before I decided to use prosciutto.
How To Make Prosciutto Wrapped Brie
- Lay four slices of prosciutto in a 5-inch pie pan.
- Put two slices going the other way.
- Cut the brie in half, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar-free preserves on the first half, then put the other half back on and spread preserves on top.
- Cover the brie with the six slices of prosciutto.
- Bake at 400F for 20 minutes, then broil for 2 to 3 minutes.

- 2 tablespoons Sugar-Free Preserves
Instructions
- Lay four slices of prosciutto in a 5-inch pie pan.

- If you don't mind the extra carbs, you can use either my Cranberry Chutney or Peach Chutney in place of the preserves.
- You can enjoy this Prosciutto Wrapped Brie with some low carb crackers, some bread, or even just dig straight in with a fork or spoon.
- Do not try this with bacon, else you will have either raw bacon, or overcooked brie. The two have very differnet cooking times, and I tried and failed twice, before I decided to use proscuitto.
- To make this in an air fryer, set the air fryer to 350F and monitor it carefully. Once you see the proscuitto crisping up, the cheese is probably melted. You will need to put it into a small pan to hold the cheese in place.

Hi Urvashi, thanks for the yummy recipe. Just wanted to mention that step 4 says to cover with bacon instead of prosciutto, and later it says not to use bacon.
URVASHI PITRE
Ah thank you! I will fix that
Mary Alice Williams
Cover with bacon?
URVASHI PITRE
Or prosciutto

Hi Urvashi- just wanted to let you know- this was mistakenly classified as Vegetarian.
URVASHI PITRE
Oops! Thanks for letting me know

This recipe looks AMAZING! I would love to make it for our family gathering Christmas eve, but I need to know the approximate weight for the brie wheel. There are so many (smaller) sizes available here (Montreal, Canada), not quite sure which I should buy. Thanks so much!
URVASHI PITRE
Ah good question! It was an 8 oz wheel.
Ruth Calame
Thanks so much!! Enjoy the holidays!
