Prep Time: 25 min.
These tiny, spooky witch cauldrons cut out from grape tomatoes are super cute and fun! Fill them with mozzarella and basil for a delicious Halloween caprese appetizer.
Top them with olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and balsamic glaze.
You can make these cauldrons as small or big as you like, depending on the variety of tomatoes you choose to use, from grape tomatoes for small ones to Roma tomatoes for larger ones.
If you want them to be even more spooky, fill the tomato cauldrons with ‘eyeballs’ using mozzarella and black olives.
Ingredients
- 10 grape tomatoes
- 5 bocconcini (mozzarella balls)
- 10 basil leaves
- olive oil
- balsamic glaze
- sea salt

Instructions
Makes 10.
1. Create a handle on the top part of the grape tomatoes by making two parallel cuts from the top and then about halfway down.
2. Now cut at a right angle from each side of the tomato towards the two lines you made. Remove both sides.
3. Trim along the inside of the handle.
4. Cut away the inside of the tomato to make room for your filling.
5. Fill it with the bocconcini (you may need to halve it) and fresh basil.
6. Drizzle the cauldrons with olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and balsamic glaze.
7. Serve.
