Prosciutto and Mozzarella Bomb

I find that I struggle the most during weeknight dinners because, honestly, who has time to slave in the kitchen after a hard day’s work? This Prosciutto and Mozzarella Bomb is not only filling, but it also pairs well with almost anything!

Ingredients · Servings 2

4 ounce prosciutto
8 ounce fresh mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounce spring mix
salt and pepper (to taste)

Method · 20 min

Layer half of the prosciutto slices vertically. Lay the remaining slices horizontally across the first set of slices.
Place your mozzarella ball, upside down, onto the crisscrossed prosciutto slices.
Firmly, but very carefully, wrap the mozzarella ball with the prosciutto slices.
If making ahead, wrap the balls in cling film and refrigerate.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet and crisp the prosciutto on all sides. To serve, place over a bed of spring mix greens and drizzle the remaining oil in the pan over the greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Throw on top of a bowl of baby spinach, olive oil, and balsamic glaze. Or how about sliced tomatoes seasoned with salt, pepper, and some basil? Make the bombs ahead of time for even quicker prep. Or substitute the mozzarella with creamy Burrata cheese for an even more indulgent spin!
