Ingredients:

Serving

8 slices prosciutto (thin)
8 basil leaves (large)
3/4 cup basil leaves (extra )
2 garlic cloves (sliced )
4 (150 g) fresh mozzarella balls ( buffalo)
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced.
For each mozzarella, lay 2 slices of prosciutto on a flat surface side by side slightly overlapping and top with a basil leaf and a few slices of garlic (reserve a few slices to make dressing) and then top with mozzarella, wrap prosciutto to enclose and secure with a toothpick.
Season with pepper and place on a baking tray and bake for 3 to 4 minutes or until mozzarella soften slightly and remove from oven and cool slightly and then remove toothpicks.
Meanwhile, blend extra basil and reserved garlic in a food processor until finely chopped with a motor running, gradually add oil and process until smooth and season with salt.
Spoon basil sauce onto serving plates and top with mozzarella parcels.
