Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Basil Oil

    In a small bowl, combine the fresh basil leaves and olive oil. Use a fork to muddle the basil into the oil, releasing its flavors. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Add Cherry Tomatoes

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

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the diced mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese begins to melt slightly.

  5. 5

    Finish with Basil Oil

    Drizzle the prepared basil oil over the mixture in the skillet. Toss gently to combine all the flavors.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a delightful pasta topping or on toasted bread as an appetizer.
