If you love the traditional Italian Margherita pizza, here’s a new way to enjoy it: as little balls! Fry these small bites for a few minutes for a deliciously crispy result. They’re perfect to serve with drinks as an appetizer, and you can also use them to add something special to your salads. Pack them in a food container and they’re great for picnics too :-)

Cut the top off each cherry tomato and hollow them out.
Put a little pesto inside, along with a small cube of mozzarella.
Dip each stuffed tomato in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. Dip it in the eggs and breadcrumbs a second time to make sure it is well coated. For easier handling, place the cherry tomato in the container of flour, eggs, or breadcrumbs and shake the container to coat it.
Cook in a deep fryer for about 4 minutes, or brown in a pan on all sides.
And there you have it, your Margherita balls are ready!
