Ingredients
  

1 pint ripe cherry tomatoes

8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

1 cup fresh basil leaves, washed and dried

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon high-quality extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Skewers (6-inch or 8-inch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by rinsing the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cold running water. Gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer and slide on a cherry tomato first. Next, add a mozzarella ball, followed by a fresh basil leaf. Repeat this pattern until each skewer holds 3 cherry tomatoes, 3 mozzarella balls, and 3 basil leaves.

      Season the Skewers: Place the assembled skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over them for added flavor. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.

        Chill for Enhanced Flavor (Optional): For a more delightful taste, consider refrigerating the skewers for 15-30 minutes. This slight chill allows the flavors to meld and intensify.

          Serve with Style: Present your beautiful skewers on the platter as an elegant appetizer or a delightful snack for parties. They are best enjoyed immediately or can be kept chilled until it's time to serve!
