This is very good to use for a first course at dinner. It is also very easy. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 lb mozzarella cheese |
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice |
3 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves |
12 slices crusty french bread (or you can use more) |
Directions:
1. Preheat your broiler.
2. Grease 6 small individual baking dishes with about 1 tbsp oil; set aside.
3. Cut the mozzarella cheese into 6 equal slices and put them in the dishes.
4. Pour cold water into each of the dishes and then, holding the cheese in the dish, pour off the water.
5. Put the dishes in the oven about 6 inches away from the heat.
6. Broil for about 5 minutes, and watch it until it is golden brown and bubbly but doesn't burn.
7. Take out and sprinkle each dish with 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp lemon juice and 1/2 tsp mint.
8. Serve immediately with the bread to scoop up the melted cheese.
