Equipment

  • Small skewers

Ingredients
  

For the Skewers

  • 12 Cherry tomatoes Or grape tomatoes
  • 12 Small mozzarella balls (bocconcini) Drained
  • 12 Fresh basil leaves Folded if large

For Finishing

  • 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze (alcohol-free) For drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Gather your ingredients: tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil leaves, and balsamic glaze.
  • Thread one tomato, one folded basil leaf, and one mozzarella ball onto each small skewer in that order.
  • Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter.
  • Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the skewers just before serving. This finishing touch adds shine and sophistication.

Notes

Drizzling balsamic over the skewers is my favorite finishing touch—it adds shine and instant sophistication. Serve immediately after glazing for the best appearance.
