MARINATED MOZZARELLA

Category: Cheese

1 lb Mozzarella in bite size chunks
1 cup olive oil + more as needed
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp dried oregano
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt

Pack cheese in container (glass canning jar works well). Mix remaining and pour over. If cheese is not covered, add more oil. Chill at least overnight up to several days. To serve, drain (not fanatically) and serve with picks or as tidbit for a cracker.

NOTE: Marinade can be reused. As long as cheese is covered with the oil, it seems nearly eternal, but shake occasionally to force seasonings back into oil.
