Flatbreads with Bresaola Rolls

The crispy flatbreads with bresaola rolls are a very simple and quick snack to prepare, ideal for an aperitif or a light appetizer. Here’s how to make them.

Preparation

1. Begin by washing and drying the arugula well.
2. Take the flatbreads and arrange them on a serving plate.
3. Place some arugula on each flatbread.
4. Prepare the bresaola rolls: you can add some arugula, a few Parmesan shavings, a drizzle of oil, and if you like, a bit of lemon juice inside each slice.
5. Gently wrap the bresaola around the filling, creating rolls.
6. Place a bresaola roll on top of the arugula on each flatbread.
7. Add a grind of pepper and, if necessary, a light spray of extra virgin olive oil.
