A delightful appetizer featuring olives wrapped in prosciutto and baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cut each slice of prosciutto into three equal pieces on a cutting board.
Ensure the prosciutto slices are evenly cut for uniform cooking.
Wrap each olive with a piece of prosciutto and secure it with a toothpick.
Make sure the prosciutto is tightly wrapped around the olive for better presentation.
Place the wrapped olives on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
Leave some space between each olive to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy.
Keep an eye on the oven to prevent overcooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
