Notes
- Mini Mozzarella - I buy a large container from the whole sale clubs. The mozzarella comes packed in a seasoned oil. If the mozzarella doesn't come in olive oil and seasoned -- you can place the mozzarella balls in a bowl, drizzle some olive oil on top and sprinkle a teaspoon of Italian seasoning blend. Mix well then skewer.
- Balsamic Glaze - If you like balsamic you can drizzle a little balsamic glaze on top.
- Basil Leaves - This recipe requires fresh basil leaves. If you find yourself with extra large leaves feel free to fold the leaves or cut the leaves in half using smaller pieces.
- Make Ahead - You can make this recipe up to 1 day in advance. Please keep in mind that the basil leaves will start to turn brown in color and will no longer be a vibrant green.
