Cornish Hens with Mustard and Rosemary Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ยบ. Combine butter, 3 tbs prosciutto, 2 1/2 tsp rosemary and 1 1/2 tsp mustard in bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Run fingers under skin over breast of each game hen, loosening skin from meat. Rub 1 tbs butter mixture under skin over breast of each hen. Sprinkle hens inside and out with salt and pepper. Place 1 tsp butter mixture in each cavity. Truss hens with kitchen string. Place hens on rack in large roasting pan. Pour 1/3 c broth over hens. Dot each hen with 1 tsp butter mixture.
