Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 12 slices prosciutto
- 12 pieces mozzarella balls
- 12 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple. Peel the pineapple by slicing off the skin, and then cut it into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch squares). Set aside.
Lay out a slice of prosciutto on a flat surface. Place one basil leaf on top of the prosciutto, followed by a mozzarella ball and a pineapple cube.
Wrap the prosciutto tightly around the pineapple and mozzarella to form a small bundle.
Secure the bundle with a toothpick to hold everything in place. Repeat until all 12 bundles are assembled.
Place the bundles on a serving platter. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the top of the appetizers for extra flavor.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the appetizers for seasoning.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful combination of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors!
