Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 8 slices Prosciutto Offers a savory, salty flavor and becomes wonderfully crispy when baked.

For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Adds an earthy, herbaceous note; fresh oregano can be used for variety.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Infuses aromatic depth; can use fresh minced garlic, adjusting the quantity.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Offers a gentle spice; opt for red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Lay the prosciutto slices flat on a clean surface, ensuring they do not overlap.
  3. Gently drain the mozzarella balls, placing them on a paper towel to absorb excess liquid.
  4. Consider cutting larger mozzarella balls in half for easier wrapping.
  5. Center a mozzarella ball on each prosciutto slice and wrap it carefully.
  6. In a small skillet, heat olive oil and stir in oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper until fragrant.
  7. Brush the seasoned oil generously over each wrapped mozzarella piece.
  8. Place each wrapped mozzarella bite on the prepared baking sheet with space between them.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden-brown, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.
