Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground sirloin with all the specified seasonings and Parmesan cheese until well mixed.
    2.
    Divide the meatball mixture into 12 equal portions (approximately 2-inch meatballs). Use your thumb or knuckle to create an indentation in the center of each meatball. Slice 6 mozzarella balls into 12 smaller pieces, then insert one piece of mozzarella into the indentation of each meatball.
    3.
    Carefully roll each meatball to enclose the mozzarella, reshaping as needed. Place the meatballs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Slice 6 pieces of prosciutto into 12 squares. Wrap each meatball with a square of prosciutto, ensuring the seam is placed underneath. Don't worry if the prosciutto doesn't completely cover the meatball, as it will adhere during baking.
    4.
    Bake the tray of meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, without flipping or rotating, until the prosciutto is crispy and golden brown. Serve immediately while hot, allowing your guests to enjoy the gooey, melted cheese centers!
