PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Remove the mozzarella sticks from their wrappers. Place them on a wax-paper-lined platter and freeze for at least four hours and preferably overnight.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
• Wrap each cheese stick in a prosciutto slice, as shown in the video below. As you wrap it around, the edges of the prosciutto will stick to each other so that it's fairly neatly wrapped.
• Place the wrapped mozzarella sticks, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them until the cheese just starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
