Instructions
Prepare the necatrine (or peach) by slicing it into 8 slices, discarding the pit and stem.
Wrap each nectarine slice with prosciutto around the middle of each fruit slice.
Assemble the skewers by placing a basil leaf on top of each prosciutto-wrapped peach slice.
Add a ciliegine mozzarella ball on top of the basil leaf. Use a long toothpick or a skewer to hold everything in place by driving it through the center of the stack.
Serve as they are, or topped with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh parsley, and/or balsamic glaze or aged vinegar, if desired.
