Got like 2+ lbs of it today for about 4$ because some employee at Target had labeled it frozen turkey breast. The 3oz package of the same product (sliced) was 6.99$.

be careful when baking prosciutto. The salt content SKYROCKETS, to an almost unedible level.

I saw a recipe for egg rolls using prosciutto in place of the wrappers...0

Fortunately I love salt, but I will keep that in mind. Could just be I don't add salt to the egg then.

bundle it around asparagus and sautee gently.
put some concoction of cream cheese on it and roll it around a scallion, or pepper slice, or raw asparagus.0 -
Eat it straight like that from the packet. Mmmm, a very lucky find .
When I do cook mine its wrapped around asparagus and griddled.0 -
I had prosciutto wrapped chicken and asparagus one night recently. I discovered I am not a fan of prosciutto. It is a bear to work with, it doesn't have a nice flavor to start, it gets leathery and hard if cooked, not much to warrant using it in my mind.0

While I love prosciutto it so much sodium it's almost overkill, I rarely eat it, but for the price you can't beat it. It's about $9 per lb here.0

Put something crunchy in the middle, use a cream cheese or some creamy/cheese version, then wrap it all up in the prosciutto... I've been told it is bliss. I'll ask my guy for some more European suggestions since he spent almost a decade overseas!0

I got a tiny amount of prosciutto from Whole Foods. Sadly, it was not even close to your amazing deal...closer to like $20/lb.
I didn't know what to do with it, either, and I ended up pitching it after a few days. I tried just eating a slice and was not impressed. Guess it's a good thing the cheaper bacon works for me in the thinly sliced pork area!
I tell you what, though, I will cut somebody for some good Niman Ranch Jambon Royale ham.
The fat content on that stuff is just amazing, and the smell and flavour is intoxicating.
I was lucky enough to get that "on sale" for $8.99/lb when it was supposed to be $11.99/lb. The guy at the deli counter couldn't find it in the system, so charged me the price for the cheaper Niman Ranch Applewood smoked petite ham.

So I made egg cups. They were pretty dang delicious, though I both could not cut the meat as thin as I'd have liked and cooked it too long (my yolks were all the way set, I'd have preferred them a little yolkier).
Still, was quite delicious and fun to eat eggs with my hands.0
