7 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 8 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise (thin slices, preferably imported)
  • 8 large basil leaves, torn in half
  • 8 small fresh mozzarella balls, halved (about 1-inch in diameter)
  • 8 grape tomatoes or 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Arrange 8 slices of prosciutto flat on a cutting board and put a piece of basil on one end of each slice. Top each piece of basil with a piece of mozzarella and a tomato half, matching the cut sides to make a ball.
  2. 2
    Season very lightly with salt and generously with pepper and then roll up the balls in the prosciutto. Secure each with a toothpick and set on a platter.
  3. 3
    Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the olive oil and serve. These keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour before serving.
