If you love the traditional Italian Margherita pizza recipe, we present a new way to enjoy it: in ball form! These little bites can be fried for a crispy result, perfect for your appetizers, and can also enhance your salads. Packed in a tupperware, they are great for picnics too :-)

Ingredients

• 30 cherry tomatoes
• 1 mozzarella ball
• 2 Tbsp pesto
• flour
• 2 eggs
• breadcrumbs
• frying oil

Materials

• Fryer

Preparation

• 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. For a double coating, dip again in eggs and breadcrumbs to ensure the tomato is well covered. For easier handling, place the cherry tomato down and shake the flour/egg/breadcrumb container to coat it more easily.
• Fry for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides.
  
• And there you have it, your Margherita balls are ready!

Observations

Pesto: can be replaced with chopped basil.
