PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED MOZZARELLA & BASIL
I love Prosciutto and will even eat it plain but this combo takes mozzarella caprese to another level. It makes a fabulous appetizer and looks great too. This is from a Fine Cooking pullout...recipe by Tony Rosenfeld.

Steps:
- Arrange 8 slices of prosciutto flat on a cutting board and put a piece of basil on one end of each slice. Top each piece of basil with a piece of mozzarella and a tomato half, matching the cut sides to make a ball.
- Season very lightly with salt and generously with pepper and then roll up the balls in the prosciutto. Secure each with a toothpick and set on a platter.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the olive oil and serve. These keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F; then combine the butter and cheese in a small bowl.
- Brush the butter mixture onto both sides of the bread; then place on baking sheet and cook 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through until both sides are toasted. Remove from the oven and cool (leave the oven on).
- Cut the tomatoes in half, place them in a bowl; then add fresh chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, EVOO, Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Allow to rest until you're ready to plate.
- Cut the cheese into twelve 1/2-inch strips; then wrap each piece of cheese with the prosciutto and repeat for all.
- Melt the butter in a large stainless steel skillet; then add the wrapped cheese to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side to sear the prosciutto; then place the pan in the oven. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese starts to melt and is hot. (Remove the pan from the oven with an OVEN MITT, the handle WILL BE HOT!)
- Put the tomatoes in the center of the plate, arrange the Mozzarella on top of the tomatoes; then drizzle balsamic vinegar and EVOO around the plate and top with the toasted bread. Garnish with some more chopped fresh basil and serve warm.
