How to Make Prosciutto Wrapped Avocado

To make these prosciutto wrapped avocado bites, I cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and then cut each half into 4-wedges. Then, I cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise and wrap then around the avocados. To finish, I drizzled on a balsamic glaze.

To make things extra easy, I purchased the balsamic glaze premade in the grocery store. However, you can also make your own if you’d like, using this recipe. Or, you can make things extra simple by leaving the glaze off entirely and just sprinkling each avocado bite with some coarse salt.

How Do You Make Balsamic Glaze?

  • To make the balsamic reduction, bring 1 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar to a boil and then let it reduce until it becomes thick and syrupy. This will take about 20 minutes.

  1. Mmmmmmm creamy avocado with a handle of prosciutto sounds like an excellent snack vehicle. My only problem is sometimes tearing the prosciutto as I’m removing them from a package and oops, it’s broken so I’ll just eat this…

    Was looking for a recipe for filet bites, which I found and were delicious and came across the prosciutto and avocado recipe. Love both of these ingredients so I gave them a try also. My guests were impressed with both. Thanks for sharing these recipes. I will definitely being adding these to my recipe book.

  3. I was bored with the same old avocado recipe and hence I decided to give this one a try. Being wrapped with prosciutto, it tasted so different. Delicious and meaty, everyone in my family was so impressed.
