This peach appetizer is one of our favorite easy summer appetizers, made with juicy ripe peaches, Parma ham, and fresh mozzarella. These simple peach skewers are fresh, flavorful, and perfect for entertaining, picnics, or warm-weather gatherings.


Ingredients

2 ripe peaches, cut into 8 wedges each (or try nectarines instead)

8 slices Parma ham (prosciutto), halved lengthwise

16 fresh basil leaves

200 g (7 oz) fresh mozzarella pearls, drained (or use our Marinated Mozzarella)

12 small bamboo skewers or cocktail picks

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

1. Prep the peaches

Cut each peach into 8 wedges. Wrap each peach wedge with a strip of Parma ham.

2. Assemble the skewers

Thread a wrapped peach wedge onto each skewer, followed by a folded basil leaf and a mozzarella ball.

3. Garnish and Serve

Arrange on a platter. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze and finish with freshly ground black pepper.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour. (Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving)
