• Loaf of thick bread (I like the garlic loaf from Fresh Market)
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• pint of tomatoes, cherry, etc.
• small balls of fresh mozzarella
• Fresh basil leaves
• extra virgin olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• Skewers

1. Trim the crusts from the bread then cut into small cubes.
2. Toss the bread cubes with 4 Tbs. of olive oil and the garlic.
3. Add salt and pepper if you'd like.
4. Place the garlic croutons on a baking tray and cook for ten minutes (turning after 5 minutes)
5. After the croutons have cooled, place one on the skewer followed by a ball of mozzarella cheese, a basil leaf and the tomato on top.
6. Drizzle with oil and vinegar (more vinegar than oil)
7. I like to arrange mine in a vase so it looks similar to a floral arrangement.

This is such an easy recipe, but it's one of my absolute favorites!
