Prosciutto-Wrapped Mozzarella & Basil
Ingredients
-
8 thin slices prosciutto (preferably imported), halved lengthwise
-
8 large basil leaves, torn in half
-
8 small fresh mozzarella balls (about 1-inch in diameter), halved
-
8 ripe grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
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. 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. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the olive oil and serve.

Tiny Twice-Baked Potatoes
You can also twice-bake little fingerling potatoes, and they'll look just like miniature baked potatoes. The round shape of Yukon Golds, however, makes those potatoes much easier to hollow out.
