Ingredients

• 16 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 8 slices Prosciutto
• 16 pieces Fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup Sundried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your work surface to prevent sticking.

Step 2

2. Using a sharp knife, slice the mozzarella into even, 1/4-inch thick rectangular sheets. If your mozzarella is in a ball or log shape, slice it flat, then gently shape it into rectangles.

Step 3

3. Arrange the mozzarella slices side-by-side on the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping to create a large sheet of cheese.

Step 4

4. Place the prosciutto slices on top of the mozzarella sheet in a single layer, ensuring it covers most of the surface.

Step 5

5. Lay fresh basil leaves over the prosciutto, distributing them evenly.

Step 6

6. Sprinkle the sundried tomato slices evenly across the basil leaves.

Step 7

7. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the entire surface and season evenly with freshly ground black pepper.

Step 8

8. Starting from one end of the mozzarella sheet, carefully roll it up tightly into a log, using the plastic wrap to help guide and compress it as you roll.

Step 9

9. Once rolled, wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld.

Step 10

10. When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 11

11. Arrange the slices on a platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze for a finishing touch.

Step 12

12. Serve immediately as an elegant appetizer or snack.
