Alternatively, they sell bite sized (bocconcini) pieces of fresh mozzrella in water in 8oz containers instead of the 16oz log version.

Using toothpicks or skewers, alternate the mozzarella and baguette.

In a small sauce pan, add the butter and melt on low heat and add in the fresh sage leaves once the butter is melted (at this step, you can start frying) and leave the heat on for about 3 more minutes or until you can smell the butter get aromatic.
