My new favorite summer appetizer is here! 😋 These Prosciutto Caprese Cups take everything I love about a classic Caprese salad and turn it into the most delicious bite-sized snack. They’d be the perfect addition to your Fourth of July spread, they’re easy to customize with your favorite toppings, and they’re so good you'll be making them all season long! Check out the recipe below and shop my patriotic look for the Fourth! ☀️🇺🇸

Prosciutto Caprese Cups

Ingredients:
-8oz of prosciutto
-sugar bomb cherry tomatoes
-mozzarella pearls
-fresh basil, sliced into ribbons
-a dash of dried parsley
-a dash of dried oregano
-balsamic glaze, both drizzled in the Caprese salad and on top of the Prosciutto Cups

Directions:
-Start by assembling your Caprese salad. Slice your cherry tomatoes in half, add in your mozzarella pearls, and slice your basil into ribbons. Then add in a dash of dried oregano and a dash of dried oregano. Drizzle balsamic glaze on top and toss salad together.
-Set oven to 400 degrees for the prosciutto cups.
-Place pieces of prosciutto in a muffin pan and fold the edges into the center to create cups. Bake for 10-11 minutes or until prosciutto looks crispy. Take out of the oven and let cool for 10 minutes so the prosciutto can harden.
-Once they’ve cooled off, add your prosciutto cups to a plate and add your Caprese salad into it.
-Top with balsamic glaze and enjoy!
