Prosciutto Wrapped Avocado
These avocado bites make the perfect party appetizer. Why?

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.
