Hi, my name is Sara and I caprese-holic. I have always been obsessed with anything caprese. The fresh and simple medley brings me such joy. So when I bought that great Modena Balsamic Vinegar a few weekends back, I couldn’t wait to make everything caprese.

The key to making this a success today was this tiny spoon. Its a ¼ teaspoon. I used it make the fresh mozzarella balls, spoon the oil mix on the sliced bread, and drizzle the balsamic syrup. Such a big day for such a little spoon! 

So here is how to make your own little bites of Italian heaven:

Slice baguette into thin slices. Spoon ¼tsp Basil Oil Mix on to each slice. Broil on low for one minute. Add 1 slice of cherry tomato, 1 ball of cheese, and drizzle with Balsamic Syrup.

Seriously Simple.

Basil Oil Mix:

Just stir together the following ingredients. So easy, and tasty!

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp mince garlic
• 1 tsp squeeze basil (I freaking love this stuff)
• 1 tbsp melted butter

Balsamic Syrup:

Simmer a few tablespoons of quality vinegar in a pot at medium heat until it coats the back of a spoon. About 8-10 minutes. The more it cools, the thicker it gets. Mine got so thick it was almost candy hard. I just boiled some water in the pot to clean it easily.

Fresh Mozzarella Balls :

I just spooned out the balls of cheese from a large ball of fresh mozzarella. They sell mozzarella pearls, that would have saved me this step. But the large balls were on Managers Special, and honestly, I liked the texture I got with balling them myself.

All in all this was one of the most delicious things I have ever made!
