FAQs

What is piadina?

Piadina is an Italian flatbread from the Emilia-Romagna region. It’s soft, pliable, and ideal for wraps.

Can I use regular tortillas instead?

Yes, tortillas work in a pinch, but authentic piadina provides a heartier texture and traditional flavor.

Is Brie the best cheese choice?

Brie offers a creamy, slightly earthy taste that complements the prosciutto. Camembert or mild goat cheese make excellent substitutes.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the components in advance, but assemble and heat just before serving to maintain texture.

Are there gluten-free options?

Yes, use gluten-free flatbreads to adapt this recipe for a gluten-free diet.

What greens work well?

Peppery greens like mâche, arugula, or baby spinach all pair nicely with the other flavors.

Can I add a spread?

Absolutely—pesto, mustard aioli, or fig jam can elevate the flavor profile.

How do I toast the walnuts?

Toast chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly browned.

What drink pairs with this wrap?

A crisp Pinot Grigio, sparkling lemonade, or lightly flavored iced tea are refreshing pairings.

Is there a vegan version?

For a vegan wrap, use plant-based Brie and prosciutto alternatives, and swap walnuts with toasted seeds if needed.

Conclusion

This Prosciutto, Brie & Walnut Piadina Wrap delivers gourmet flavors with minimal effort. It’s versatile, elegant, and satisfying—perfect for a quick lunch, an easy dinner, or a stylish addition to your next picnic. Enjoy the harmonious blend of creamy, salty, and crunchy in every bite!

Description

Un pain plat italien rustique enroulé autour de prosciutto soyeux, de fromage Brie crémeux, de légumes verts poivrés et de noix grillées : ce délice savoureux est parfait pour une bouchée élégante mais sans effort.


Ingredients

  • 2 piadines ou pains plats de blé entier
  • 4 oz de fromage Brie, tranché
  • 3 oz de prosciutto, tranché finement
  • 1 tasse de mâche ou de roquette
  • 2 cuillères à soupe de noix hachées
  • 1 cuillère à café de miel (facultatif)
  • Poivre noir fraîchement moulu au goût

Instructions

  1. Faites chauffer la piadina dans une poêle à feu moyen pendant 1 à 2 minutes de chaque côté, jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit tendre et malléable.
  2. Disposer la piadina chaude sur une assiette. Superposer les tranches de brie et les laisser fondre légèrement.
  3. Garnir de prosciutto, de légumes verts frais et de noix hachées.
  4. Arrosez d’une touche de miel si vous le souhaitez et terminez avec du poivre noir.
  5. Pliez en deux et servez immédiatement pendant qu’il est chaud et fondant.

Notes

  • Utilisez de la roquette si vous n’avez pas de mâche pour une saveur poivrée.
  • Le miel ajoute un joli contraste mais peut être omis pour une bouchée purement salée.
  • Faites griller les noix au préalable pour plus de croquant et de saveur.
