of the phyllo with melted butter. Place a few slices of smoked mozzarella at a narrow end of the phyllo
rectangle, leaving 1-inch on each side. Top the cheese with a few pieces of sun-dried tomatoes. Carefully roll
up the phyllo dough into a cigar shape starting with the cheese and tomato end. About half way through the
rolling, tuck in the 1-inch ends of the phyllo dough, and continue rolling. Place on a foil-lined baking
sheet, seam side down, and brush the top with butter. Continue rolling the 5 remaining cigars. Bake until
golden, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small ball jar or in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid combine the extra-virgin
olive oil, Proseco, cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Shake well. Toss the Proseco vinaigrette with the field
greens. Place the dressed greens on a serving platter or on individual serving plates.

Slice the cigars into 2-inch pieces. Place atop the dressed field greens. Serve immediately.

The baked cigars are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The flavor is great. YUM!!
