These delicious Puff Pastry Caprese Cups will be an instant hit at any party!
Caprese Salads are one of my very favorite recipes for Summer. The bright flavors of the cherry tomatoes, fresh whole milk mozzarella, balsamic, and basil come together for the perfect meal or side dish. But what about an appetizer?? These delicious (AND EASY!) Puff Pastry Caprese Cups are the perfect appetizer to whip up for any BBQ or get together this Summer, they’ll be an instant hit at any party!
To bring even more flavor to this favorite combo, I added crispy prosciutto! It’s an optional ingredient, but it adds so much flavor and really completes the dish. These will be gone in no time, trust me!
No one needs to know just how easy these little bites of heaven were to throw together. It’s just a matter of chopping your ingredients, thawing your dough, and putting it all together! If I can do it, you can do it. Enjoy!
