Description
A delightful combination of salty prosciutto, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze, these bites are ideal for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
- 20 mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained and patted dry
- 20 fresh basil leaves, whole
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
- Toothpicks or mini skewers
Instructions
- Prepare workspace: pat the bocconcini dry with paper towels.
- Assemble: place one basil leaf near one end of a prosciutto strip, then place a mozzarella ball on top of the basil.
- Roll: roll the prosciutto around the mozzarella and basil tightly into a snug little wrap.
- Skewer: insert a toothpick or mini skewer diagonally through the wrap to secure it.
- Repeat: continue until all 20 bites are assembled.
- Finish: arrange on a platter and drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze.
Notes
Dry the mozzarella well to prevent watery bites and preserve texture. Avoid adding balsamic glaze until just before serving if assembled more than 60 minutes ahead.
