Notes: * Sun-dried tomato pesto adds a rich and savoury flavour to these bites. You can find it in jars at your local supermarket or make your own. * Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Mozzarella melts beautifully, but you can also try cheddar, provolone, or a blend of cheeses for added variety. * These Tomato Pesto Mozzarella Bites are best served warm, straight from the oven. However, you can also enjoy them at room temperature. * Serve these bites with your favourite dipping sauce such as marinara, pesto, or even a garlic aioli for an extra kick of flavour. * These bites are perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a tasty snack for movie nights. They're sure to impress your guests with their irresistible combination of flavours and textures. * Feel free to customise the recipe by adding other ingredients like sliced olives, fresh basil leaves, or even a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. * Don't forget to share your creations on social media and tag @shicocooks to show off your cheesy masterpiece!
