Total Time 22 minutes
Serving Size 22 pieces

Ingredients

  • 1 carton of organic yellow grape tomatoes
  • 7 - 8 large sized fresh basil leaves
  • 1 block of organic mozzarella cheese
  • EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Organic Sugar

Instructions

  • In a small pot over a medium heat, add balsamic vinegar and organic sugar. Bring to small rolling boil until most of the liquid has reduced out of it. You will have approximately 1/3 of your original liquid left. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • With a paring knife, cut off tops of tomatoes and slight hollow out the middle.
  • Cut slices of mozzarella, and then make long strips of them. In the end, you want rectangular shaped pieces.
  • With a sharp knife, cut thin slices of basil from the leaves. I don't recommend using the stem in this appetizer. On a side note: I found it best to cut the leaves vertically along the sides of the stem.
  • Wrap each piece of mozzarella with a thin strip of basil and light push it into the tomato
  • Place on plate (or toothpicks) and drizzle EVOO and your balsamic vinegar reduction across.
