12-ounce container of marinated mozzarella balls (20 pieces)
03 -
20 fresh basil leaves

# Instructions:

Cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise. Drain the mozzarella balls in a colander and pour them out onto a double layer of paper towels. Pat the mozzarella balls dry to remove excess moisture.

Place a halved slice of prosciutto on a cutting board. Add a basil leaf (fold over if large) on one end and place a mozzarella ball on top of the basil leaf. Roll the prosciutto around the basil and mozzarella ball. Insert a wooden cocktail pick through the center to secure the assembly.

Just before serving, drizzle each assembled bite with a small amount of balsamic glaze for added flavor.
# Notes:
