MINI CAPRESE CUPS

-
Fresh, summery caprese salad stuffed into a mini phyllo cup and drizzled with balsamic glaze! An easy to make one bite appetizer!

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend and hopefully many of you have a short work week as well.  My weekend was filled with running, biking, pulling weeds, and working in my vegetable garden. Let’s talk about weeds for a minute. Why are they necessary other than to bug the crap out of you? Our side yard is the forgotten area on our property and it’s here that the weeds like to grow and spread like the plague.

Mini Caprese Cups


INGREDIENTS

  • 15 mini phyllo cups
  • 8 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 8 mini fresh mozzarella balls, halved
  • 15 small basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling, (I used the balsamic glaze recipe drizzled on this pizza)
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper for sprinkling on top
  • Get Ingredients Powered by Chicory
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Arrange half of a cherry tomato, half of a mini mozzarella ball, and one small basil leaf in each mini phyllo cup.
  2. Sprinkle kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper over the tops of the mini caprese cups.
  3. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the tops of the mini caprese cups.
  4. The mini caprese cups are best if eaten within an hour after making them to prevent the phyllo cups from becoming soft.

The BEST Basic Pancake Recipe

-
Image
For years, I used a box mix to make pancakes. It was easy — just add water (and maybe an egg, depending on the fanciness of the mix) and pour the batter on the griddle. Then the internet came along and showed me that I could make pancakes from scratch and at a fraction of the cost of a mix. And, surprise! The pancakes actually taste better. First, we must master the basic pancake. And while whipping up a batch takes no time at all, there are some rules to pancake creation to make sure your pancakes turn out fluffy and delicious every time: Ingredients 2 c. all purpose flour 1 T. baking powder 3 T. white sugar 1/2 t. salt 2 eggs 1-1/2 c. milk 2 t. vanilla 1 T. butter, vegetable oil or coconut oil Instructions: Preheat a griddle. If you’re using an electric griddle, preheat to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir to combine. Remember,...
