How to Make Baked Mozzarella Wrapped In Prosciutto
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced).
- Prepare the basil garlic sauce: In a food processor, combine 1 cup of packed fresh basil leaves and 2 cloves of garlic. With the motor running, gradually add 1/4 cup of olive oil until a smooth sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For each mozzarella ball (8 oz total, approximately 4 balls): Lay 2 slices of prosciutto (approximately 4 oz total) side-by-side on a flat surface, slightly overlapping. Top with 1 fresh basil leaf and 1/2 of a thinly sliced garlic clove.
- Place one mozzarella ball on top of the prosciutto and basil. Wrap the prosciutto tightly around the mozzarella, securing with a toothpick.
- Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the remaining mozzarella balls.
- Season the mozzarella parcels generously with freshly ground black pepper.
- Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the mozzarella is softened and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and carefully remove the toothpicks.
- Spoon the basil sauce onto serving plates and top with the warm mozzarella parcels. Serve immediately and enjoy!
