What Makes This A Must-Make 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.

What Is Prosciutto?

Prosciutto is a traditional Italian dry-cured ham that’s known for its silky texture and delicately salty, savory flavor.

Made from the hind leg of a pig, the meat is rubbed with salt and slowly aged, often for many months, to concentrate its flavor and create that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

It’s typically sliced paper-thin and served uncooked as prosciutto crudo, often paired with cheese, fruit, or wrapped around appetizers like brie.

Ingredients You'll Need

1 Small Double Brie Cheese Wheel- The creamy, rich centerpiece of the dish, becoming melty and luxurious once heated.
4 ounces Prosciutto- Wraps the brie in a savory, salty crust that crisps up beautifully in the oven.
2 tablespoons Sugar-Free Preserves- Adds a touch of sweetness and fruity contrast that complements both the brie’s creaminess and the prosciutto’s salty bite.

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.

Tips And Tricks

Creating prosciutto-wrapped brie that’s beautifully crisp on the outside and irresistibly gooey inside is all about smart preparation and timing. Try these tips for perfect results every time:

Do not try this with bacon. 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.
Use well-chilled brie. Cold cheese holds its shape better while wrapping and baking.
Overlap the prosciutto slices. Layer them tightly so the brie stays fully enclosed and the cheese doesn’t escape.
Fold neatly like a present. Keep the wrap snug and smooth to ensure even browning.

Variations

Prosciutto-wrapped brie is wonderfully versatile, making it easy to tailor flavors to any occasion. From elegant appetizers to cozy snacks. Try one of these delicious variations:

Fig & Walnut- Add a layer of fig jam and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts before wrapping for a sweet crunch.
Pesto Swirl- Spread a little basil pesto under the prosciutto for herbal brightness.
Berry Bliss- Use raspberry or cranberry sauce for a tangy, festive twist.
Maple & Pecans- Drizzle maple syrup and add toasted pecans for warm, nutty sweetness.

How Long Does It Last?

Prosciutto-wrapped brie lasts 2–3 days in the refrigerator when stored tightly wrapped or in an airtight container to keep the prosciutto from drying out.

It’s best enjoyed the same day while the cheese is soft and melty, but leftovers can be gently reheated in the oven to revive the texture.

Can You Freeze It?

Freezing isn’t recommended, as both brie and prosciutto can lose their creamy and delicate qualities after thawing.
