Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough)
- 8–10 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (cut into small cubes)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut mozzarella into small cubes and slice prosciutto if needed.
Step 2: Flatten Dough
Flatten each piece of dough into a small round shape (about palm size). Avoid making it too thin to prevent tearing.
Step 3: Assemble
Place a piece of prosciutto in the center, add a cube of mozzarella, and optionally sprinkle a little Parmesan.
Step 4: Seal
Fold the dough over the filling, pinch edges tightly, and roll into a ball. Ensure there are no openings.
Step 5: Garlic Butter
Mix melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
Step 6: Coat
Place dough balls seam-side down on the tray. Brush generously with garlic butter and sprinkle Parmesan on top.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown, crispy outside, and soft inside.
Step 8: Serve
Let cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and serve warm for the best cheesy texture.
