Ingredient Notes
- Prosciutto: Prosciutto is typically cut into long slices. Make sure to buy it prepared this way so you have room to roll it up.
- red apple: You can also use melon or another apple variety if preferred.
- balsamic reduction
- spicy honey: I used the Trader Joe’s brand. Feel free to use regular honey if you don’t prefer the spice.
- fresh arugula
- mozzarella cheese
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add an apple slice, mozzarella slice, and arugula to a slice of prosciutto.
- Drizzle with hot honey and balsamic reduction.
- Roll up and serve on a platter with fresh basil and more honey for drizzle. Enjoy!
Mac’s Pro Tip
Expert Tips
- Because this dish is so versatile, feel free to switch things up as needed. Don’t like spicy? Use regular honey instead of hot honey. Prefer melon over an apple? Use cantaloupe instead of red apple. If you don’t like arugula, substitute a spring mix, romaine, or even spinach.
Serving Tips
- Serve chilled with an extra drizzle of the honey dressing.
- You can make this appetizer up to 24 hours in advance and store it in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve. Move the roll-ups to a serving platter and serve!
Storage Tips
- Store leftover prosciutto wrapped mozzarella roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Eat for a quick lunch or snack or serve as a pre-dinner appetizer.
