Now roll it in the bread crumbs
Place in hot oil fry until golden (flip as needed)

Assembly line for battering.
Fry the prosciutto in a pan, then cook the spinach right behind it to pick up the flavors.
Mix the cheese, prosciutto, and cooked spinach together.
Spread the cheese.
I tied these, but I think I like just rolling them and not tying them- it was a mess.
Sprinkle on the tony's after rolling!
