Ingredients
- Mozzarella pearls
- Garlic cloves, peeled
- Italian seasoning
- Red pepper flakes
- A sprig of rosemary
- A sprig of basil
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a small jar, make a single layer of mozzarella pearls on the bottom. Wedge a clove of garlic in amongst them. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Tuck in the basil and rosemary.
- Continue making layers of mozzarella, each layer sprinkled with seasonings, until the jar is full or you run out of mozzarella. Pour extra virgin olive oil over to coat the mozzarella.
- Let sit on the counter for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld, then store in the fridge or freezer. About an hour before serving time, set out on the counter to let the oil liquefy.
Notes
For safety, store your marinated cheese in the freezer if you want to keep it more than a week. Other options are to saute the garlic before adding it or use freeze dried minced garlic in place of the fresh garlic.
