Prosciutto & Mozzarella Skewers (or Prosciutto & Bocconcini Skewers as they are called in Australia) are the absolute bomb diggity. They are the perfect appetizer for Christmas or any celebration.

I am a really big fan of mozzarella (and bocconcini), however I don’t cook with it or eat it much as I am lactose intolerant. I also love prosciutto but again, I don’t share many recipes with processed meats in them.

I usually share dairy free recipes on Becomingness, but I wanted to share with you one of my favourite appetizers of all time as it is so good!!

Prosciutto and Mozzarella Skewers (or Prosciutto and Bocconcini Skewers as they are called in Australia) are one of my favourite appetizers. The combination of prosciutto, mozzarelle, tomato and fresh basil is hard to beat.

They are the perfect appetizer for Christmas or any celebration. They look amazing (hello Christmas colours!) and they taste delicious too.

This would be an ideal starter before you started on my Glazed Ham with Apple & Cranberry Chutney and finished off with my Gluten Free Christmas Fruit Cake.

Enjoy
