Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package prosciutto
- 12 oz mozzarella balls about 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, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- 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 lay out the slices flat on a clean surface.
- Take the mozzarella balls out of their packaging and drain any excess liquid. If they are large, cut them in half for easier wrapping.
- Place one mozzarella ball in the center of each prosciutto slice and carefully wrap it around the ball, ensuring it’s fully enclosed.
- In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture lightly over each wrapped bite.
- Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between each.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the prosciutto turns crispy and slightly golden.
- Allow the baking sheet to cool for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. Sprinkle some chopped fresh basil on top before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
These bites can be served on a platter alongside marinara or pesto for dipping. For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze them, noting that texture may change upon thawing.
