Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella Bites

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out slices of prosciutto flat, ensuring they do not overlap.
Drain the mozzarella balls thoroughly, cutting larger ones in half if needed.
Position a mozzarella ball on each prosciutto slice and wrap snugly.
In a skillet, heat olive oil with oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper for 30 seconds.
Brush the warm oil mixture generously over the wrapped bites.
Arrange the bites on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until prosciutto is crispy and golden.
If desired, sprinkle fresh basil over the bites before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious contrast of flavors.
