These marinated mozzarella balls are filled with simple flavors that make an easy appetizer recipe. Fresh garlic, basil, chili flakes and quality olive oil are what make this recipe so delicious.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 16 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8ounces Fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, julienned
  • 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, finely chopped basil, sun-dried tomato, black pepper and chili flakes in a large bowl.  Season with black pepper and then whisk well.
  2. Add the mozzarella balls.  Stir to fully coat.  Your mozzarella won’t be fully immersed, so it’ll be important to come back and stir every so often.  
  3. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.  Continue to stir and/or flip the container they’re stored in to have the flavors mix well.  The longer the mozzarella marinates, the better the flavors will be. 
  4. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days.
  5. Serve on a cheeseboard/charcuterie board.
