Appetizer Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Wash the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Assemble Skewers

    On a small skewer or toothpick, thread one cherry tomato, followed by a basil leaf, then a mozzarella ball. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used.

  3. 3

    Season

    Place all assembled skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the skewers. Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavors.
