Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Balls Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella for the best flavor and texture.
  • 8 slices Prosciutto Opt for thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma for best results.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil A good extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor.
  • Fresh Basil Leaves Torn basil is best just before serving to retain flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wrap each mozzarella ball with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring full coverage.
  3. Place the wrapped mozzarella on a baking sheet, seam-side down.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the bites.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes or until prosciutto is bubbly and starting to crisp.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Let mozzarella stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before wrapping. Store leftovers in an airtight container; best reheated in an oven or air fryer.
