Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15 mini phyllo cups pre-baked
  • 15 fresh mozzarella pearls or small cubes
  • 15 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 15 small fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Place a mozzarella pearl in each phyllo cup.
  2. Add a cherry tomato half and a basil leaf to each.
  3. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
  4. Serve right away so the shells stay crisp.

Notes

Fill these no more than 30 minutes before serving so the phyllo doesn't soften.
