This easy 10 minute marinated mozzarella balls recipe combines fresh mozzarella, herbs, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes with extra-virgin olive oil for a flavorful pairing that’s as elegant as it is delicious.
Stir the garlic, rosemary, oregano, parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and oil together in a medium bowl.
Add the cheese balls and give them a gentle toss to coat.
Pour everything into a pint-sized (2 cup capacity) glass jar. Gently press the cheese balls down to submerge them in oil.
Cover the jar and transfer to the fridge. Let the cheese marinate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Net Carbs: 1g per serving
Storage: This will keep for up to 1 week stored covered in a glass jar in the fridge. After chilling in the fridge, the olive oil will likely harden. Simply let the jar sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving to let the oil soften.
Customize It: Feel free to play with the fresh herbs to suit your tastes.
Serve with Balsamic: These are delicious served with a splash of balsamic vinegar or drizzled with balsamic reduction.
