Can I Make My Own Marinated Mozzarella?
Yes! Combine extra virgin olive oil, minced fresh garlic, Italian seasoning, chopped fresh parsley and basil, salt, chili flakes, and the zest of half a lemon in a bowl or and mix well. Add the mozzarella balls and gently toss to coat. Cover and let them sit in the fridge for 4 hours (or overnight) to absorb the flavors. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Tips and FAQs
- Prep ahead: You can wrap the bites in prosciutto a few hours in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and bring to room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving.
- Don't toss the marinade! Combine it with a splash of balsamic vinegar and use it for dipping bread, as a salad dressing, or to toss with pasta.
- Get on (charcuterie) board: Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella bites with fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, crackers, dips, and other small bites.
