This easy app is part caprese salad, part mozzarella stick, and completely welcome at any get-together.
Who doesn't love a a fried hybrid? A frybrid, if you will! This one is of two of my favorite mozzarella-based appetizers: caprese salad and mozzarella sticks. The result are what I'm calling "Fried Caprese Balls ": mozzarella-filled mini-tomatoes that are breaded, fried, and served with plenty of basil and balsamic reduction.
I uses an apple corer to hollow out the centers of the tomatoes, but a mini melon baller would also work. After scooping out the seeds, I gently push ciliegine into each one, being careful not to rip the tomatoes. At this point, they're ready to be coated. When fried, the tomatoes soften, breaking down to a sauce-like texture in spots. Along with the melted cheese and breadcrumbs, it all reminds me of what it'd be like to put warm marinaraFor the sauce, I reduce a mixture of balsamic vinegar and honey, which I then drizzle over the Caprese Balls before serving. Just make sure to wait until you're just about to serve them to drizzle, lest they get soggy.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the balsamic has reduced by half and easily coats the back of the spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
