There are three sizes of mozzarella balls. Bocconcini is the largest and mozzarella pearls (or perlini) are the smallest. Ciliegine are in the middle and are, I think, the ideal size for a one-bite appetizer. They're basically the size of a cherry, so easy to pop in your mouth! But really, you can't go wrong with any size of mozzarella balls for this recipe! Ingredients

8 oz. Fresh mozzarella balls; Ciliegine, (middle size)
½ C EVOO
2 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
1 Tbsp chopped Fresh Basil
1 Tbsp chopped Fresh Thyme
¼ tsp Red Pepper flakes
¼ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper

Instructions Mix ingredients together Add the drained mozzarella balls, stir to coat well. Let Mozarella marinate at least an hour at room temperature before serving. In making in advance, store in airtight container in the fridge. Remove from fridge about 20 minutes and give them a good stir before serving. Reduce the herbs slightly if substituting dried for the fresh.
