I made these for a party and could have eaten them all by myself! Fantastic!!
I used cut up mozzerella since it’s cheaper and you couldn’t tell a bit of difference.
Yummy!

I hosted a baby shower over the weekend and I made these. Let me tell you….they were a huge hit! They are very simple to make yet they look very elegant. I will definitely make these again (a lot) and gave the recipe to several of the ladies at the shower who requested it. I was very tempted to take the credit, but I did direct them to this website and, specifically, to lanaann for posting it.

Thank you!!

Huge hit! So fresh tasting reminded me of summer. I also did a Balsamic Vinegar reduction and severed it on the side. I will absolutely do this again. Thanks!
