Ingredients

8 thin slices prosciutto (preferably imported), halved lengthwise
8 large basil leaves, torn in half
8 small freshmozzarella balls (about 1-inch in diameter), halved
8 ripe grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Arrange 8 slices of prosciutto flat on a cutting board and put a piece of basil at the opposite end of each slice (this way it shows through the prosciutto once it is rolled up).
On the end closest to you, place 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.
