Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If using large mozzarella balls, cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Basil

    Wash the fresh basil leaves and gently pat them dry. You can leave them whole or tear them into smaller pieces.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Skewers

    On each skewer, thread a cherry tomato, followed by a mozzarella ball, and then a basil leaf. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used.

  2. 4

    Season the Skewers

    Drizzle the assembled skewers with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle salt and black pepper over them to taste.

Finishing Touch

  1. 5

    Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze

    Before serving, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the skewers for added flavor and presentation.
