This is the kind of appetizer that brings accolades due to great flavor and mouth-popping ease. You will need skewers; I use the wooden variety.

My boys loved eating these little bites and can roll and wrap and thread them with ease. You can make them ahead by a day; cover and store in fridge. The truth is, it is almost embarrassing that these little bites are only 2 ingredients. Oh, 3 if you are really pushing the envelope.

Mozzarella Prosciutto Skewers
Small mozzarella balls (bite-size; drain liquid)
3 oz prosciutto (cut into 3 x 1 inch strips; I just rip them into approximate pieces)
Optional: large sage leaves

Roll each mozzarella ball in prosciutto length; If using sage leaves, place one sage leaf inside prosciutto then roll around cheese. Thread on skewers. For a mouthwatering option, alternate cherry tomatoes with mozzarella ball bites on skewers. BBQ on grill over medium 2 minutes per side or until prosciutto begins to crisp. Serve to unsuspecting guests at will.
