Recipe type: Appetizer/Snack
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 4 ounces thinly-sliced prosciutto, torn in half vertically
  • 8 ounces block of part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Mix together the olive oil, oregano and black pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Cut the mozzarella cheese into little logs. They should be about thumb-sized.
  4. Dunk each cheese log into the olive oil mixture. Wrap each log of mozzarella in a half prosciutto slice. Repeat with the rest of the cheese, olive oil and prosciutto.
  5. Place the prosciutto-wrapped cheese on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray (a baking dish would work as well).
  6. Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the prosciutto is just starting to crisp and the mozzarella is just melted. Don't be alarmed when the cheese oozes out the sides. That's the good stuff.
  7. If you want a cleaner appetizer, you can use a whole slice of prosciutto, and tuck in the sides when rolling the cheese to make a secure bundle. However, the cheese is going to escape at some point so you might as well embrace it!
  8. Drizzle with more oregano olive oil and serve hot or at room temperature.
