What Are Prosciutto Bombs?
Prosciutto bombs are small bundles made by wrapping slices of prosciutto around cubes or balls of cheese and baking them until the meat becomes crisp and the cheese turns soft and melty.
Unlike heavy appetizers that require a long ingredient list, these flavorful bites rely on the perfect combination of two ingredients:
- Prosciutto: A thin, dry-cured Italian ham with a salty, rich flavor.
- Cheese: A creamy, melty filling that balances the saltiness of the prosciutto.
Together, they create an elegant appetizer that looks impressive despite requiring almost no preparation.
Ingredients
This recipe makes approximately 12 prosciutto bombs.
You’ll Need:
- 12 slices prosciutto

That’s it!
Optional Cheese Variations
While mozzarella is the most popular choice, you can also try:

Each cheese creates a slightly different flavor and texture.
