Great easy appetizer that I had at our annual Halloween Party...Putting recipe here for safe keeping as I want to make it for Thanksgiving....very elegant, and tastes wonderful. Ingredients:
20 cherry tomatoes, halved (cherry or grape size) |
20 basil leaves |
20 bite-size fresh mozzarella cheese balls (often labeled bocconcini) |
salt and pepper |
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
20 toothpicks |
Directions:
1. Usining a toothpick, spear a half of a tomato, a piece of basil, a mozzarella ball, and another half of a tomato. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place on a service dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix the vinegar and oil together in a small bowl to serve as a dipping sauce, or you can marinate appetizers in a bowl with marinade poured over. |
