Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 24 select large sweet basil leaves
  • 24 teaspoons plain fresh chevre
  • chopped walnuts (optional)
  • drizzle of EVOO
  • squeeze of fresh lemon or lime
  • 36 small cherry tomatoes
  • 36 toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Take each basil leaf and spread it with 1 tsp. of chevre.
  2. Optionally sprinkle a small amount of chopped walnuts on top, but these are great just plain.
  3. Stack one basil leaf upon a second one and roll up. This will make 12 "mini cigars," if you want to stop here. If so, then put each on its own toothpick and garnish with cherry tomatoes....or continue on to the next step:
  4. Slice each rolled basil leaf unit into neat thirds, discarding the ends (or sampling those along the way). Put each one on a toothpick and garnish with a cherry tomato. You should have about 36 pinwheels. Keep chilled until serving time. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon or lime before serving.
