Prosciutto Peach Bites

My Prosciutto Peach Bites will totally spruce up your appetizer spread for your next summer soiree. The color and flavor are everything. You got your sweet from the peach, your salty from the prosciutto, your creamy from the mozzarella, your freshness from the basil, and finally your zing from a little lemon drizzle. You don't want to overdo it on the dressing. Just a hint.

You can make these in an assembly line. Set up on a platter and drizzle with the lemon oil. And, you're done.

Individual serving appetizers always class up the joint, right?

This goes well with wine and any cocktail. For sure!
