Ingredients:
20 - grape tomatoes
1 block of fresh mozzarella or buffalo mozzarella 
20 - fresh basil leaves (stems removed)
olive oil
balsamic vinegar

Directions:
1. Slice a large portion of the top of each tomato so that it can be hulled. Slice a very small portion of the bottom of each tomato so that it will stand up right on a plate. Once each end is sliced, hull the tomato with a small spoon.
2. Place tomatoes on serving plate and drizzle the balsamic vinegar and olive oil over the tomatoes.
3. Cut the mozzarella into 20 small cubes - small enough to fit inside the tomatoes. Once cubed, wrap a fresh basil leave around each cube of mozzarella. Place each basil wrapped cheese cube in a hulled tomato.
- If desired, drizzle more vinegar and/or oil over added mozzarella.
