Looking for fresh party snack ideas? These halloumi and prosciutto bites are a brilliant choice. They’re simple to put together, full of flavour, and take just 10 minutes to prepare and about 10 minutes to bake—so in 20 minutes you’ll have a crowd-pleasing plate ready to serve.
Perfect for barbecues, drinks with friends, special occasions or just a casual get-together, these little morsels are reliably popular. Place a bowl down and watch them disappear—everyone loves them.
I often find myself repeating the same party dishes, so I love finding easy new options. These bites were inspired by a chat with a fellow food-lover—proof that great recipes can come from a simple conversation. They’re versatile, straightforward and reliable.
Halloumi prosciutto bites recipe tips
- Choose just one or two hot dishes and fill the rest of the spread with cold items. Cold snacks can usually be made ahead, while hot ones need attention close to serving time.
- Keep the menu simple and realistic. Plan what you can finish in the time available so you’re not overwhelmed.
- If you think you’ll have leftovers, keep small containers or bags handy so guests can take food home.
- If an ingredient comes in a large pack, reduce waste by using it across two recipes.
- Prepare as much as possible in advance. For these bites you can cut and roll them, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then bake just before serving.

(Printer-friendly recipe card is at the end of this post.)
This recipe includes UK metric and US cup measurements.
Ingredients
Makes 24 bites
- 1 x 225g (7.9 oz) block of halloumi
- 85g (about 6 slices) prosciutto
- 100g sun-dried tomatoes (about 6 pieces)
Essential equipment
- Large baking tray
Instructions
Drain and rinse the halloumi, then pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the block into 24 bite-size pieces.
Rinse the sun-dried tomatoes in a sieve to remove excess oil, then pat dry and slice into pieces similar in size to the halloumi.
Quarter each prosciutto slice. Place a sun-dried tomato piece in the centre of a prosciutto quarter, top with a piece of halloumi, then wrap the prosciutto around it. Place each roll seam side down on a foil-lined baking tray for easy cleanup.
If you’re preparing ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 180°C) / 374°F.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the prosciutto is slightly browned and the aroma fills the kitchen.
Transfer the bites immediately to a serving dish and provide cocktail sticks to keep things tidy. They’re best served warm.
They look beautiful and taste even better—so savour them quickly, because they don’t last long!
