Ingredients
- 3 oz. sliced prosciutto
- 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Mozzarella - Traditional Cut

- 2 large plum tomatoes, seeds removed, diced small
- 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2. tsp salt
- 15 mini fillo shells, thawed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking pan with foil. Place prosciutto slices on foil and bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy. Allow prosciutto to cool and crumble into small pieces.
