Method
Prepare the Cheese
Slice the Buffalo Mozzarella
Using a sharp knife, slice the buffalo mozzarella into thick rounds, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Prepare the Shaved Parmesan
If using a block of parmesan, use a vegetable peeler or sharp knife to shave thin slices of parmesan cheese.
Combine Ingredients
Mix the Cheese Together
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced buffalo mozzarella and shaved parmesan. Gently toss to mix them without breaking the mozzarella.
Add Seasoning
Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese mixture. Sprinkle salt and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Garnish and Serve
Prepare Fresh Basil
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle over the cheese mixture for added flavor and color.
Serve
Transfer the cheese mixture to a serving platter. Optionally, drizzle balsamic glaze over the top for a sweet finish. Serve with slices of crusty bread on the side.
