Ingredients
1/2
cup mascarpone cheese (4 oz)
1/2
cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (2 oz)
2
tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/8
teaspoon pepper
24
fresh basil leaves (2 to 2 1/2 inches long)
Preparation
In small bowl, mix cheeses and pepper until blended. Cover; refrigerate about 30 minutes or until firm enough to shape into balls.
For each appetizer, shape 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese mixture into a ball; roll slightly to form an oval, about 1 inch long. Place on wide end of basil leaf; roll up. Roll leaf and cheese between fingers to form an oval. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture and basil leaves.
Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate no longer than 24 hours.
