Instructions
Mini Caprese Skewers
- Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Thread a cherry tomato, basil leaf, and mozzarella ball onto each skewer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes before serving.
Mini Sliders
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then shape the mixture into 6 small patties. Cook the patties on a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Toast mini slider buns with butter, then assemble with cheese, cooked patties, and toppings of choice. Serve hot with dipping sauces.
Bite-Sized Cheesecakes
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press into mini muffin tins. Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth, then pour the mixture over the crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes, let them cool, and then top with fresh berries before serving.
