Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 6 slices Prosciutto Adds a deliciously salty flavor; for a budget-friendly option, substitute with thinly sliced pancetta.
  • 12 ounces Mini Mozzarella Balls (Bocconcini) Provides a creamy texture and mild flavor; burrata can be used for a richer center.
  • 12 leaves Fresh Basil Leaves Contributes aromatic freshness; if unavailable, use microgreens or arugula.
  • 4 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze Offers a sweet and tangy flavor; you can substitute with honey, pesto, or lemon juice.
  • 12 pieces Toothpicks or Mini Skewers Essential for holding the bites together, allowing for easy serving.

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • large plate
  • toothpicks or mini skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Work Surface: Start by laying a clean cutting board or a large plate on your kitchen counter. Arrange your ingredients close by: prosciutto slices, mini mozzarella balls, fresh basil leaves, and balsamic glaze.
  2. Assemble the Ingredients: Take a slice of prosciutto and lay it flat on the board. At one end, place a fresh basil leaf followed by a mozzarella ball.
  3. Roll the Bites: Gently lift the side of the prosciutto with the basil and mozzarella. Roll it tightly toward the opposite end, ensuring the prosciutto fully encircles the mozzarella ball and basil.
  4. Secure with Toothpicks: Once rolled, take a toothpick and insert it diagonally through the center of the wrapped bite.
  5. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: After securing all bites, place them on a serving platter and drizzle balsamic glaze over the top just before serving.
