How to Make Fairy Toadstool Caprese Bites

Ingredients:

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (red ones work best for that classic toadstool look)
  • 1 container of fresh mozzarella balls
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Toothpicks
  • White Sesame Seeds and Mayonnaise (for the toadstool spots)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the tomatoes: Cut each cherry tomato in half, or trim just the bottom to help them sit flat. These will become your magical mushroom caps!
  2. Assemble the base: Skewer one mozzarella ball onto a toothpick. Add a fresh basil leaf underneath for a leafy, fairy-approved touch.
  3. Top with tomato: Place a tomato half gently on top of the mozzarella ball to complete the toadstool look.
  4. Add magical spots: Use a toothpick to carefully dab tiny dots of mayo onto the tomato. Carefully stick white sesame seeds onto the mayo to mimic classic toadstool spots.
