The bread cups with pesto and mozzarella balls are a simple and tasty appetizer, perfect for starting a meal with a touch of freshness and flavor. The crunchiness of the toasted bread pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the pesto and the delicate taste of the mozzarella balls, all enriched by the aroma of fresh herbs. Ideal for an aperitif or buffet, these cups are easy to prepare and ready in minutes.

Ingredients
• Mozzarella bocconcino Nobili;
Preparation
With the help of a pastry cutter, cut circles from the slices of bread. Place the bread circles in a muffin tin, pressing them gently to form cups. Then, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add the finely chopped herbs. Generously brush the bread cups with the aromatic butter and toast them in a preheated oven at 180°C for a few minutes, until they are golden and crispy.
Once toasted, add a teaspoon of basil pesto to each cup and place a few halved mozzarella balls on top. Bake again until the mozzarella is melted and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish each cup with a fresh basil leaf before serving.
Enjoy your meal!
