Ingredient Notes
How to Make Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites
- Cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise. Then, drain the mozzarella balls and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place a halved slice of prosciutto on a cutting board or other work surface, add a basil leaf on one end, and place a mozzarella ball on top of the basil leaf.
- Roll the prosciutto around the basil and mozzarella ball.
- Insert a wooden cocktail pick through the center to hold everything together. Just before serving, drizzle each piece with a little balsamic glaze.
Make-Ahead Tips
If you’d like to get the work done in advance, you can assemble the appetizers several hours in advance. Just assemble them as directed but don’t drizzle them with glaze. Instead, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. Balsamic glaze will become watery if it sits too long so drizzle them with the glaze just before serving.
