Looking for a great appetizer or party food for your next get-together? This recipe for Spinach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Triangles will impress your guest for sure!

Like most people I know, we have a very busy on-the-go schedule.  I just took a temporary teaching job, blog full time and have a family to take care of.  My husband has a busy work schedule as well.  That leaves little time for socializing so when we invited some friends over recently, I wanted to make something fun and different.  That meant it had to be a little fancier than the cheese and crackers I normally serve.  I decided on spinach, prosciutto and mozzarella triangles but still needed something to add a little extra flavor.

I recently discovered the new Bertolli Riserva sauces when I used the Marinara for my Fried Goat Cheese recipe.  It was so flavorful that I’d been looking for an excuse to try the Porcini Mushrooms & White Truffle Oil.  Doesn’t the name alone just sound delish? These sauces are quickly becoming my favorites because they have a distinct flavor that sets them apart from the ordinary sauces.   I couldn’t wait to try this one in my new recipe!

All you need are a few simple ingredients:  shredded mozzarella, prosciutto, spinach & phyllo pastry sheets (you can find the printable recipe card at the end of this post)

Start by chopping your prosciutto and spinach and mixing it in a bowl with your shredded mozzarella.

Add your Bertolli sauce and set aside while you prepare the phyllo.  I’ve learned that the most important part of working with phyllo is to keep it from drying out.  Take the two sheets you need to start and rewrap the remaining phyllo or cover with plastic wrap.  Otherwise it will dry out quickly and then it’s just impossible to work with.  Lay your two sheets side by side.  Brush the first one with melted butter, then place the second sheet on top and brush it with melted butter as well.  Cut into three horizontal strips.

Take some of the prosciutto mixture and drop it at the end of the phyllo roll.  Fold over as if you were folding a flag.

Keep folding and when you’re finished you should have three triangles that look like this.

Brush lightly with butter, place on a greased cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap while you make the next batch.  Once all your triangles are ready, bake until golden brown and garnish.  I just sprinkled on a little extra mozzarella and topped with sliced cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.  These appetizers were a big hit and even my three year old loved them.  I think I’ve found one of my new favorite party foods!
