Ingredients

For the Skewers

8 oz Mozzarella Ciliegine Larger sizes for pronounced skull shapes
12 pieces Cherry Tomatoes Firm and ripe for best flavor

For the Dressing

3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil Can substitute with light oil
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar For a sweet-tangy kick

Equipment

Silicone skull molds
Baking sheet
Paper Towels

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and drain the mozzarella ciliegine.
Lightly oil your silicone skull molds and position them on a sturdy baking sheet.
Place one mozzarella ball into each skull cavity of the mold and press down gently.
Bake for 6-8 minutes until mozzarella softens but doesn't melt completely.
Press each mozzarella ball firmly into the mold to define skull shapes.
Chill the molds in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
Repeat the process with any remaining mozzarella ciliegine.
Assemble your skewers by threading one skull, a basil leaf, and a cherry tomato onto bamboo picks.
Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar, drizzle over the skewers or serve on the side.
