Description
Delicious and simple prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella bites that are perfect for appetizers or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 package prosciutto
- 1 package mozzarella balls (approximately 12 oz)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil (optional; great for garnish!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Open the package of prosciutto and gently separate the slices, laying them flat on a clean surface.
- Remove the mozzarella balls from their packaging and drain any excess liquid. If large, consider cutting them in half for easier wrapping.
- Place one mozzarella ball in the center of each prosciutto slice and wrap the prosciutto around it.
- Continue wrapping until all mozzarella balls are covered in prosciutto.
- Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until fragrant, then remove from heat.
- Lightly brush the seasoned oil over each prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella bite.
- Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy and golden.
- Let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving, and garnish with chopped fresh basil if desired.
Notes
Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze uncooked bites for up to two months.
