Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay the slices of prosciutto flat on a clean surface, ensuring they remain intact.
  3. Drain and pat dry the mozzarella balls to minimize moisture.
  4. If necessary, cut larger mozzarella balls in half for easier wrapping.
