You know, those appetizer recipes that once you have them in your arsenal, you feel like you can take on any party or potluck?
This is that appetizer.
Prosciutto Wrapped Avocado
These avocado bites make the perfect party appetizer. Why?
- They take all of ten minutes to make.
- You only need three ingredients.
- There’s no need for serving utensils or toothpicks. Just wrap them up and serve.
In reality, you don’t need a recipe for these Prosciutto Wrapped Avocado Appetizers, but I gave you one anyway! Just grab a couple avocados, some sliced prosciutto, and some balsamic glaze.
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.

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…
Ha ha! I’m so with you Pech – I need to buy double the prosciutto just so that I can have a healthy serving of it while making these 🙂
I seriously love avocado, and I love how it becomes finger food here – without going all messy and slippery on you!
Totally agree Catherine!
Yum! I feel like I need to have a Pinterest board dedicated to your recipes— they all look so good.
Awww – Thanks Chloe!
These sound so delicious and easy! Pinning for my next appetizer need!
I hope you love them Kelsey!
I love how simple these are to make. They’ll be at my Kentucky Derby watch party next week.
Yay! I hope you enjoy Janet!
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.
I’m so happy to hear that you liked both of them Sandra!
This is excellent, made it last night for a party and everyone enjoyed! Easy to make, thank you!
Do you suggest lemon spritz to keep avocado from darkening? Taking these on cocktail picnic.
Hi Carol – That would probably be a good idea! They’ll definitely start to turn brown after an hour or so.
Yummy!!
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.
