👨🍳 Preparation
- 1
Cut both the bread and the buffalo mozzarella into evenly sized squares, trimming the crusts if needed.
- 2
Skewer one piece of bread and one piece of mozzarella, seasoning lightly with salt and oregano.
- 3
Grill the skewers, bake them in the oven, or toast them over a barbecue until golden and the mozzarella begins to melt.
- 4
Serve immediately while the cheese is still hot and beautifully soft.
💡 Tips and Variations
For a bolder flavour, add a touch of freshly ground black pepper.
You can also use wholemeal bread for a more rustic version.
📦 Storage
- • Store the skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days.
- • Avoid freezing them, as mozzarella loses its texture.
- • Reheat in a low oven or briefly in the microwave before serving.
🍷 Pairing
Pair these mozzarella skewers with a glass of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, whose gentle fruitiness complements the Mediterranean flavours beautifully.
