Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes about 12 ounces
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls bocconcini or ciliegine, drained
  • 1 bunch fresh basil leaves about 20–25 leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze store-bought or homemade
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 12–15 wooden skewers or toothpicks about 6 inches long

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Start by rinsing the cherry tomatoes under cold water and patting them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Next, drain the mozzarella balls thoroughly to prevent excess moisture. If you’re using larger balls, cut them in half for easy skewering.
  • Grab your fresh basil leaves and gently wash them. Pat them dry carefully with a paper towel.
  • Take your wooden skewers or toothpicks, and begin assembling your skewers. Start with a cherry tomato, followed by a basil leaf, and then a mozzarella ball.
  • Once all the skewers are assembled, arrange them on a platter. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
  • Finally, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately, and watch them disappear! If you notice any leftover skewers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day.

Notes

These skewers are best enjoyed fresh for maximum flavor and texture.
