Imagine tiny, savory cups, each one a miniature explosion of Italian flavors. These baked prosciutto cups are a delightful appetizer or snack, perfect for any gathering, or simply a treat for yourself. Thin slices of salty prosciutto are carefully molded into muffin tins, transforming into delicate, crispy shells as they bake.

The edges turn a beautiful golden brown, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. Nestled inside these prosciutto cups is a luscious filling of creamy, melted mozzarella. The mozzarella's mild, milky flavor provides a wonderful contrast to the salty prosciutto.

Swirls of vibrant green pesto add a burst of herbaceous freshness. The pesto, with its fragrant basil, garlic, and pine nuts, elevates the dish to a whole new level. Its rich, savory notes complement the other flavors perfectly, creating a harmonious blend that dances on your palate.

As you take a bite, the crispy prosciutto gives way to the soft, gooey mozzarella and the fragrant pesto. The combination of textures and flavors is simply irresistible. These little cups are incredibly versatile.
