Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites
- Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites. Carefully cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to create thinner strips. Drain the marinated mozzarella balls well and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring a perfect texture when wrapped. Have fresh basil leaves ready for assembly.
- On a clean surface, lay out the halved prosciutto slices side by side. Place a fresh basil leaf in the center of each slice, creating a flavorful bed for the mozzarella. Next, add a well-drained mozzarella ball on top of the basil, positioning it to ensure a secure roll. This layer of herby goodness will enhance the taste of your bites.
- Gently roll the prosciutto around the mozzarella ball and basil leaf, ensuring that everything is tightly wrapped for a beautiful presentation. As you finish each roll, insert a wooden cocktail pick through the center to hold the assembly together; this will not only secure the ingredients but also make them easier to serve.
- Once all the Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites are assembled, it's time to add the finishing touch. Just before serving, drizzle a generous amount of balsamic glaze over each bite to add a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the savory elements beautifully. This final flourish will elevate your appetizer into a visually stunning dish your guests will love.

Notes
Always use high-quality prosciutto and mozzarella for the best flavor; fresher ingredients make a significant difference in taste. Assemble your Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites several hours ahead, but leave the balsamic glaze for just before serving to prevent sogginess. Use sturdy cocktail picks to hold the bites together; this ensures each delicious morsel stays intact for easy serving. Don’t shy away from variations—try adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper or toasted pine nuts for an extra flavor boost! Arrange the bites on a beautiful platter to enhance visual appeal; this encourages guests to dive right in!
