Ingredients
Mini Mozzarella Balls (ciliegine, about cherry tomato size)
Silicone Skull Mold (oven-safe)
Olive Oil (optional, for serving)
Fresh Basil Leaves (optional, garnish)
Cherry Tomatoes (optional, garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Pat mozzarella balls dry with paper towels and place one in each skull mold cavity.
2. Bake for 8–10 minutes until just softened. Press gently into mold with the back of a spoon. Blot excess moisture if needed.
3. Refrigerate mold for 10 minutes, then carefully unmold each skull.
4. Arrange on a platter with basil and tomatoes, or use as spooky toppings for salads and snack boards.
Notes
For best results, don’t overbake the mozzarella or it may dry out.
Mozzarella skulls are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days.
For added flavor, sprinkle herbs like oregano or basil into the mold before baking.
