Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half if desired, or leave them whole for a more rustic presentation.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Skewers

    On each toothpick or skewer, thread one cherry tomato, followed by a basil leaf, and then a mozzarella ball. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, making about 20 skewers.

Final Touches

  1. 3

    Season the Skewers

    Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the top.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your fresh Caprese skewers as a delightful appetizer!
