Scale
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, then place them over a double layer of paper towels and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Assemble the Bites: Lay a halved slice of prosciutto on a cutting board. Place a basil leaf (folded if large) at one end, then place a mozzarella ball on top of the basil leaf.
- Wrap and Secure: Roll the prosciutto around the basil and mozzarella ball tightly, then insert a wooden cocktail pick through the center to secure the bite together.
- Add Balsamic Glaze: Just before serving, drizzle each prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella bite with a little balsamic glaze to add a touch of sweetness and tang.
Notes
- Use paper towels to dry the mozzarella balls thoroughly to prevent soggy bites.
- If fresh basil leaves are large, folding them helps them fit better inside the prosciutto wrap.
- Balsamic glaze can be substituted with a balsamic reduction or serve on the side for dipping.
- For a saltier bite, choose a saltier prosciutto, or rinse lightly if you prefer less salt.
- Keep the bites chilled until serving for best texture and flavor.
