  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls, mince the garlic, and chop the fresh basil.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

    Add Seasoning

    Stir in the chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Mix in Mozzarella

    Gently fold in the halved mozzarella balls and cook for 1-2 minutes until they begin to melt slightly.

  6. 6

    Serve with Arugula

    Serve the warm tomato and mozzarella mixture over a bed of fresh arugula. Drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar if desired.
