I love entertaining just like everyone else, but I don’t always enjoy mad amounts of food prep. Sometimes the best party foods are those that are pulled together quickly, and then devoured immediately.
This appetizer recipe combines Farm Rich frozen mozzarella sticks and fresh basil (both found in my local Walmart), diced heirloom tomatoes from my garden, crispy crostini, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to create two bites of caprese magic.
The crostini (after being drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt) and the mozzarella sticks both bake in the oven at the same temp, for the same amount of time, which makes cooking a breeze!
Then it’s just a matter of building them: crostini, then basil, then half a gooey mozzarella stick, then tomatoes, then a sprinkling of balsamic.
