Description

Golden, crispy prosciutto hugging creamy, melty mozzarella—these bite-sized appetizers are quick to prep, quick to disappear, and guaranteed to steal the spotlight at any gathering. We’ve doubled the batch so there’s plenty to go around and added a few simple twists to boost flavor and texture.


Ingredients

Scale

2 packages prosciutto (about 24 thin slices)

2 packages mozzarella balls (24 oz total; ciliegine size works best)

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional)

Flavor Twists (Optional):

Add a dab of pesto or sun-dried tomato paste inside the wrap

Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes before baking for heat

Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking

Use smoked mozzarella for added depth


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Pat mozzarella balls dry with paper towels.

Slice prosciutto lengthwise into halves or thirds. Wrap each mozzarella ball tightly with a strip.

Arrange on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, and pepper.

Bake for 8–10 minutes or until prosciutto is crisp and mozzarella begins to melt.

Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and optional balsamic drizzle.
