1 1-pound ball fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/4 inch thick
10 to 15 slices prosciutto (3 to 4 1/2 ounces)
2 to 3 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 1/2 cups heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup torn fresh basil

Steps:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap each mozzarella slice with prosciutto until mostly covered. Put on the prepared baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella until the prosciutto is crisp and the cheese just starts to melt, about 1 minute per side.
Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella and sliced tomatoes on a platter, overlapping slightly. Top with the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Top with the basil.
