Variations / Substitutions

Add Prosciutto: Wrap around the mozzarella for extra flavor.

Use Marinated Mozzarella: For a zesty twist.

Fruit Option: Add a cube of watermelon or cantaloupe.

Mini Skewers: Use half-size toothpicks for bite-sized canapés.

Vegan Version: Substitute vegan mozzarella-style cheese.

Tip: Keep glaze separate until serving if prepping ahead.

FAQs
