10 Minute Marinated Mini Mozzarella Balls (Bocconcini)

We’re using cupboard staples here - but you can get creative and use what you like and what you have to hand.

Mini mozzarella balls. Also called bocconcini, these little guys are SO cute and the perfect size for party snacks. You’ll find them in larger grocery stores or delis, in the cheese section.

Olive oil. Because this forms the base of the marinade, you want to go for a high-quality, extra virgin olive oil if possible.

Chilli flakes. You only need 1 teaspoon, but if you’re worried about heat, you can leave it out.

Sweet chilli jam. Probably my most used condiment (I feel stressed if I don’t have it on hand!), this takes the mozzarella to another level. Sweet, savoury and packed with Asian-style flavours, I highly recommend including it if possible. You could use any sweet chilli sauce, honey, or maple syrup too.

Herbs. I’m using fresh rosemary, thyme and basil, but you could use dried if you like. If you’re making this ahead of time for a party, the bright colour of the herbs will dull a little the longer they sit in the oil, so just keep that in mind. You could use mint, flat-leaf parsley or oregano too.
