Halloween Caprese Skewers (Print-Friendly Version)

Fun Halloween skewers with skull mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, and a balsamic finish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 200 grams Ciligiene mozzarella balls

→ Vegetables

02 - 250 grams cherry tomatoes
03 - 15 grams fresh basil leaves

→ Condiments

04 - 30 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
05 - 30 milliliters balsamic vinegar

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 180°C. Drain the Ciligiene mozzarella balls thoroughly.
02 - Lightly brush or spray the silicone skull molds with oil to prevent sticking.
03 - Place one mozzarella ball into each skull mold and bake on a baking sheet for 6 to 8 minutes until softened.
04 - Remove molds from oven. Using a folded paper towel, press each softened ball firmly into the mold to absorb excess liquid and ensure detailed shaping.
05 - Refrigerate the skull molds for at least 10 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
06 - Gently press the backside of each mold to release the skull-shaped mozzarella.
07 - Thread one mozzarella skull, one basil leaf, and one cherry tomato onto each bamboo pick.
08 - Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar and drizzle evenly over the assembled skewers before serving chilled.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Use freshly made mozzarella skulls for optimal texture and shape. Prepare just before serving for best freshness.
