Ingredients

- 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls bocconcini or ciliegine
- Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients:
- Rinse the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Drain the mozzarella balls and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Assemble the skewers:
- Take a toothpick or small skewer and thread the ingredients: a tomato, a basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat this until all ingredients are used.
- Drizzle with flavor:
- Arrange the skewers on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Serve:

Notes
- Making them ahead: You can assemble the skewers a few hours ahead. Just keep them covered in the fridge and drizzle with balsamic glaze and oil just before serving.
- Tomato options: Cherry or grape tomatoes are ideal, but if you’re using regular tomatoes, just cut them into smaller pieces.
