Prosciutto-mozzarella-tomato skewers

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.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the olive oil and serve.
