How to Make Prosciutto Bombs
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a small round disc using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 2: Add the Filling
Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of each dough round. Add a small dab of cream cheese if you want an extra creamy center. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder and herbs.
Step 3: Seal the Bombs
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball to ensure there are no openings—this keeps the cheese from leaking during baking.
Step 4: Wrap with Prosciutto
Take a slice of prosciutto and wrap it around each dough ball. The thin, delicate meat will cling naturally and crisp beautifully in the oven.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the wrapped bombs seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve Warm
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve while warm so the centers stay gooey and delicious.
Tips for the Best Prosciutto Bombs
- Seal Well: Any gaps in the dough can cause cheese to leak out during baking.
- Don’t Overfill: A small cube of cheese is enough—too much can burst the dough.
- Try Variations: Add a touch of honey, fig jam, or caramelized onions inside for a sweet-savory twist.
- Air Fryer Option: These can also be cooked in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–12 minutes.
Serving Ideas
Prosciutto bombs are incredibly versatile. Serve them with:
- Marinara sauce for dipping
- A light honey drizzle for contrast
- A side salad for a more balanced dish
- A charcuterie board for an elevated presentation
