Prosciutto Roll-Ups
        Makes about 32 rolls
 Ingredients    
8 oz (1 brick) cream cheese, softened  
4 to 5 oz (1 tub) Gorgonzola cheese crumbles  
2 tbls fresh chives, finely chopped  
2 tbls fresh basil, finely chopped  
1 tbls dried sage  
1 tsp ground black pepper  
  do NOT add salt, there's enough in the cheese already  
________    
1 lb (1 pkg) sliced prosciuto, or whatever kind of meat you like, just have it cut thin enough to roll up  
     
     
 Directions    
Throw all the ingredients (except for the prosciuto) into a medium bowl. With a hand mixer, spin it up until well combined. Don't over mix it or it will just turn into a green paste.

Peel off a slice of prosciuto and cut it in half to make two, 3" squares or so. Put about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle and spread it out across the width with the spoon and your fingers. Roll the meat around the filling. Use your fingers to form it into a smooth and even little cigar. The thin meat tends to break apart, but you can take a couple broken pieces and stack them together to make one. Once you roll it, it will still look pretty.

Place it on your serving platter seam side down and garnish with some greens and a few grape tomatoes.
