Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For the Wraps:

  • 8 slices prosciutto

  • 8 small pieces mozzarella, fontina, or goat cheese

For the Glaze:

  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

Instructions:

  • Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar over medium heat until reduced by half and slightly thickened. Stir in honey if desired and set aside to cool.

  • Assemble the Wraps: Wrap each piece of cheese with a slice of prosciutto, securing it gently.

  • Optional Warm Finish: Lightly sear the wrapped pieces in a pan for 1 to 2 minutes until the prosciutto crisps slightly and the cheese softens.

  • Serve: Arrange on a plate and drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.

Shopping Tips:

  • Choose high-quality, thinly sliced prosciutto for the best texture and flavor

  • Use fresh, creamy cheese for a better melt and mouthfeel

  • Look for aged balsamic vinegar for a naturally sweeter, richer glaze

Cooking Tips:

  • Do not overcook if searing to prevent the cheese from melting too much

  • Let the glaze cool slightly to thicken further before drizzling

  • Serve immediately for the best texture contrast

This elegant, savory bite brings together richness and balance, making it a perfect appetizer that supports your glow while satisfying your cravings.
