Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites are an easy and elegant appetizer. Creamy mozzarella and fresh basil are wrapped in savory prosciutto, then drizzled with balsamic glaze. They are perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
  • 20 mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • 20 fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
  • Toothpicks or mini skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Prosciutto Strips: Lay the halved prosciutto slices flat on a clean surface to make wrapping easier.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Place a fresh basil leaf and one mini mozzarella ball at one end of each prosciutto strip, ensuring they are aligned for rolling.
  3. Roll the Wraps: Roll the prosciutto slices tightly around the mozzarella and basil, forming snug little bundles that hold together well.
  4. Secure with Toothpicks: Insert a toothpick or mini skewer diagonally through each wrap to keep it secure and add an elegant touch.
  5. Drizzle and Serve: Just before serving, lightly drizzle balsamic glaze over each bite to add a sweet and tangy flavor finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor and texture.
  • Mini mozzarella balls are also called bocconcini; drain any excess liquid before assembling.
  • Basil can be substituted with fresh mint or arugula for different flavor profiles.
  • Balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar or store-bought for convenience.
  • These bites are best served fresh but can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure the balsamic glaze contains no added gluten ingredients.
