Notes

Essential Notes

  • For Caprese Skewers: If you can’t find mozzarella balls, you can use regular mozzarella and cut it into small cubes. Fresh basil really makes a difference in flavor, so try to use it rather than dried basil.
  • For Stuffed Mushrooms: If you prefer a meatier stuffing, you can add cooked sausage, ground beef, or bacon to the filling for an extra punch of flavor.
For Crispy Parmesan Bites: Panko breadcrumbs will give you a lighter, crunchier texture. If you’re aiming for an even crispier result, consider frying the bites in hot oil instead of baking them.
