Ingredients
Ingredients
- 24 cherry tomatoes
- 12 mini mozzarella balls
- 24 fresh basil leaves
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Balsamic reduction, for drizzling
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Assemble the skewers: Carefully thread one cherry tomato, followed by a mini mozzarella ball, and then a fresh basil leaf onto each mini skewer. Repeat this arrangement so each skewer is balanced with these three ingredients to create a colorful and flavorful bite.
- Season and drizzle: Once all skewers are assembled, lightly drizzle them with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic reduction to add richness and a sweet tang. Finally, sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the skewers to enhance and balance the flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh and ripe cherry tomatoes for the best taste and texture.
- You can prepare the skewers a few hours ahead and refrigerate; drizzle oil and balsamic reduction just before serving to keep them fresh.
- For a sweeter balsamic flavor, use a high-quality balsamic glaze.
- These skewers are best served chilled or at room temperature.
