- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Method
- 01

- 03

- 05
Drizzle with a tiny amount of olive oil if desired. Serve at room temperature — no skewers.
How to offer
Place pieces on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. Cherry tomatoes must be halved or quartered — whole cherry tomatoes are a choking hazard. Mozzarella cubes are soft and melt-in-mouth, safe for 9-month-olds. No skewers or toothpicks ever.
Storage
Best served fresh. Refrigerate assembled bites up to 4 hours. Store components separately — mozzarella in brine for 3 days.
