Description
Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites are a delightfully easy and flavorful appetizer that come together in just 10 minutes. Crispy prosciutto envelops creamy mozzarella for the ultimate bite-sized indulgence.
Ingredients
– 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 8 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wrap each mozzarella cube tightly in a half-slice of prosciutto, pressing the seam to seal.
3. Arrange the wrapped bites on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Drizzle the bites with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve the Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites warm.
Notes
For best texture, use fresh mozzarella rather than pre-shredded. You can also try different variations by using other cured meats like salami or pancetta.
