Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 16 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
• 2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, if needed

Recipe

• 1 place the tomatoes in an attractive serving bowl.
• 2 arrange the mozzarella, basil leaves and grilled bread on a platter.
• 3 set up the grill for direct heat and preheat to high. (charcoal grill: rake the embers into a pile at the bottom of the grill and leave off the grill grate. gas grill: preheat to superhot.).
• 4 skewer a cube of mozzarella.
• 5 roast over the fire, turning the skewer to evenly melt the cheese. (if you are using a gas grill, you'll need to bring it as close as possible to the fire without touching the grate.).
• 6 when the mozzarella begins to melt and brown, after 1-2 min on charcoal (little longer for gas), use a knife or a fork to scrape the cheese off the skewer onto a piece of grilled bread. never attempt to eat directly off the skewer! you will burn yourself!
• 7 top the cheese with a basil leaf and a piece of sun-dried tomato, and a second piece of grilled bread.
• 8 enjoy!
