Italian pig shots are here for the summer! These pig shots are Italian sausage wrapped in prosciutto and filled with cream cheese and mozzarella pearls! Dip them in marinara sauce and enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg – Italian Sausage
- 6 oz – Prosciutto
- 8 oz – Cream Cheese, softened
-
2 T – Good Fella, cracked
- 16 – Mozzarella Pearls
-
½ C – Marinara Sauce
Directions
- Preheat grill or smoker to 300 degrees.
- Cook off the Italian sausage and then cool completely.
- Cut the sausage into ¾” thick coins.
- Cut the prosciutto in ½ lengthwise.
- Wrap each sausage coin in a piece of prosciutto, setting the sausage on the edge of the prosciutto. Once wrapped up it should look like a shot glass. Secure with a toothpick.
- Drop a mozzarella pearl into each of the shots. Then add ½ tsp of marinara to each shot.
- Combine the Good Fella and cream cheese in a bowl and mix until well incorporated.
- Add the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag and then begin to fill the pig shots.
- Fill the shots ¾ full with the cream cheese mixture.
- Place the pig shots on a rack and then onto the smoker.
- Smoke for 45-60 minutes until the cream cheese is hot and just starts to expand over the top of the shot glass.
- Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
