Herbed Bliss: Add a sprinkle of dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary to the top of each tomato for an herb-infused twist.
Spicy Kick: Mix in a few slices of jalapeño or drizzle some chili oil on top of the balsamic glaze for a spicy version.
Vegan Version: Swap the mozzarella for a plant-based cheese alternative or use avocado cubes for a creamy, dairy-free option.
FAQ:
1. Can I use regular tomatoes instead of cherry or grape tomatoes?
Yes, but the smaller size and sweetness of cherry or grape tomatoes are key to this recipe. If using larger tomatoes, try to cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
2. Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
You can prepare the tomatoes and mozzarella ahead of time, but we recommend assembling the bites just before serving to maintain the fresh flavors.
3. What is balsamic glaze, and can I substitute it?
Balsamic glaze is a thickened version of balsamic vinegar, often sweetened, that adds a rich, tangy flavor. If you don’t have it, you can substitute with regular balsamic vinegar, but the glaze gives a thicker consistency and slightly sweeter taste.
4. How do I make balsamic glaze at home?
To make balsamic glaze, simply simmer balsamic vinegar and a sweetener (like honey or brown sugar) over low heat until it thickens into a syrupy consistency.
