Description
Easy assembly of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil leaves on skewers, drizzled with balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained
- 1 bunch fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- If making your own glaze, combine balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until the vinegar reduces slightly and thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Thread one cherry tomato, one mozzarella ball, and one basil leaf onto small skewers or toothpicks. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the skewers just before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought balsamic glaze to save time.
- Make sure the basil leaves are dry before skewering for best results.
