Mozzarella Board Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheeses

   Slice the house-made marinated mozzarella, smoked mozzarella, and burrata into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving board.

2. 2

   Roast the Tomatoes

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

3. 3

   Prepare Mixed Nuts

   In a small bowl, combine your choice of mixed nuts. You can toast them lightly in a pan for added flavor, if desired.

4. 4

   Make Basil Oil

   In a blender, combine fresh basil leaves with olive oil. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to obtain basil oil.

5. 5

   Prepare Fruit Compote

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh or frozen fruits (like berries or stone fruits) with a bit of sugar and cook until they break down into a chunky sauce. Let it cool.

6. 6

   Prepare Balsamic Reduction

   In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until it thickens and reduces to about half its volume. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

7. 7

   Assemble the Board

   On a large serving board, arrange the cheeses, roasted tomatoes, and mixed nuts. Drizzle the basil oil over the cheeses and place small bowls of fruit compote and balsamic reduction on the board.

8. 8

   Prepare Herb Crostini

   Slice a baguette into thin rounds, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with herbs. Toast in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 10 minutes until crispy and golden.

9. 9

   Serve

   Serve the mozzarella board with the herb crostini on the side. Enjoy!
