Pan-Frying Method (Recommended)
- Pat the mozzarella pearls or cubes completely dry with a paper towel. This is crucial for crisping.
- Lay a slice of prosciutto flat. Place a piece of mozzarella (and a basil leaf, if using) at one end and roll up tightly.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until the prosciutto is golden and crispy and the cheese is just beginning to melt.
- Remove from the pan, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired, and serve immediately.
Baking Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the mozzarella dry and wrap with prosciutto as described above. Arrange the wraps on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until prosciutto is crisped and the cheese is soft. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tip 1: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure the prosciutto crisps up rather than steams.
Tip 2: You can assemble these wraps up to a day in advance and store them in the fridge. Cook just before serving for the best texture.
