Equipment
- Skeleton Molds These skeleton molds are perfect for Halloween!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 1 Cup Pearl Mozzarella Balls these are smaller than traditional mozzarella balls, making them perfect for fitting into the skeleton molds!
- 1 Handful Fresh Basil Leaves
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Sprinkle Flaky Sea Salt to taste
Instructions
- To make this caprese, start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
- Next, prepare the mozzarella. Break apart the mozzarella pearls and squish them into the cavities of the skeleton molds.
- Once all of the cavities have been filled, transfer the molds into the oven and allow the mozzarella to bake for 4 minutes. Watch it carefully, so it doesn't completely melt.
- Then, remove them from the oven and use a paper towel to pat down any excess liquid.
- Press the cheese into the mold once more, then transfer the molds into the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
- While the cheese is in the fridge, prepare the rest of the salad. Wash and chop the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large plate alongside the fresh basil.
- Then, remove the skeleton molds from the fridge and add the cheese to the plate.
- Finally, drizzle the spooky caprese salad with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately and enjoy!
