Step-by-Step Instructions for Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Lay the prosciutto slices flat on a clean cutting board. Gently separate each slice to avoid tearing.
  3. Drain any excess liquid from the mozzarella balls and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  4. If utilizing larger mozzarella, cut them in half for easier wrapping.
  5. Wrap each mozzarella ball in a slice of prosciutto, covering it completely.
  6. Warm olive oil in a skillet and add dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  7. Brush the seasoned oil over each prosciutto-wrapped bite.
  8. Arrange the wrapped bites on the baking sheet with space between them for even cooking.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the prosciutto is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Sprinkle fresh basil over the bites while they're still hot (optional).
  11. Let the bites cool slightly before serving them warm.
