Meatless happiness right here guys… these little bites of deliciousness turned out so AMAZING!!

Have you tried smoked mozzarella? If not YOU NEED TO!!… NEXT LEVEL smokiness flavour!!

Scarmoza is a super stretchy aged, dried version of mozzarella, I love that it’s sold on @ocadouk, otherwise available at specialty food shops or online. If you can’t find scarmoa then buffalo mozzarella work just as well in this recipe.
