- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze

3. Carefully roll the prosciutto around the mozzarella and arugula to form a neat bundle. Secure with a toothpick.
4. Repeat this process for the remaining ingredients to make 16 prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella bites.
5. Arrange the bites on a serving platter. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the appetizers, followed by the balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness.
