Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella and basil

I also made these for after Marcel's meeting.

8 thin slices of Prosciutto (preferably imported), halved lengthwise
8 large basil leaves torn in half
8 small fresh mozzarella balls, about 1 inch in diameter, halved
8 grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
toothpicks

Arrange 8 slices of Prosciutto flat on a cutting board and put a piece of basil on one end of each slice. Top each piece of basil with a piece of mozzarella and tomato half, matching cut sides to make a ball. Season very lightly with the salt and generously with the black pepper and then roll up the balls in the Prosciutto. Secure each with a toothpick and set on a platter.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the olive oil and serve.
