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

  1. 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.
  2. Thread one cherry tomato, one mozzarella ball, and one basil leaf onto small skewers or toothpicks. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
  3. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.
  4. 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.
