Main Ingredients
- 4 ounce package sliced prosciutto, sliced in half lengthwise
- 20 marinated mozzarella balls, 12 ounce container
- 20 leaves fresh basil
- Balsamic glaze, as needed
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients Cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise. Drain the mozzarella balls in a colander, pour them out over a double layer of paper towels, and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Assemble Place a halved slice of prosciutto on a work surface, add a fresh basil leaf (fold over if large) on one end, and place a mozzarella ball on top of the basil leaf.
- Roll and Secure Roll up the prosciutto around the basil and mozzarella ball snugly. Insert a wooden cocktail pick through the center to hold everything together securely.
- Serve Just before serving, drizzle each prosciutto-wrapped bite lightly with balsamic glaze to enhance the flavor.
Notes
- Use marinated mozzarella balls for added flavor or fresh mozzarella if preferred; just marinate in olive oil, herbs, and garlic beforehand.
- Be sure to dry the mozzarella balls well to prevent soggy bites.
- The balsamic glaze can be store-bought or homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar until syrupy.
- For a colorful presentation, consider using mixed basil varieties such as purple basil.
- These bites are best served fresh but can be prepped a few hours ahead and refrigerated covered.
