Scale
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 the Bites: Place a halved slice of prosciutto on a cutting board or other work surface, add a 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 tightly around the basil and mozzarella ball. Insert a wooden cocktail pick through the center to hold everything securely together.
- Add Balsamic Glaze: Just before serving, drizzle each piece with a little balsamic glaze to add a sweet and tangy finish.
Notes
- Use marinated mozzarella balls for extra flavor or substitute with fresh mozzarella if unavailable.
- Fresh basil leaves can be substituted with fresh oregano or arugula for a different twist.
- Serve immediately after adding balsamic glaze to prevent sogginess.
- For a prettier presentation, use colorful or flavored balsamic glaze.
- These bites can be prepared a few hours ahead of time without balsamic glaze and refrigerated covered.
