Ingredients:​

  • 16 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Crusty bread or crackers for serving (optional)

Instructions:​

  1. Prep the Mozzarella: Drain the mozzarella balls and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the marinade stick better.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Make sure everything is well combined.
  3. Marinate the Mozzarella: Add the mozzarella balls to the bowl and gently toss them in the marinade until they are well coated. If you have time, let them sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for even more flavor.
  4. Serve: Transfer the marinated mozzarella to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if you have them. Serve with crusty bread or crackers for an amazing appetizer.
  5. Enjoy: Dig into these flavorful, marinated mozzarella balls and enjoy the burst of deliciousness in every bite!
