Let’s get started!
– 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved – 8 ounces mozzarella cheese balls cubed or halved – Fresh basil leaves for garnish – Balsamic glaze or reduction for drizzling – Toothpicks or cocktail picks for serving
1. Begin by assembling the skewers. Take a toothpick or cocktail pick and thread on a cherry tomato half, followed by a cube or half of a mozzarella cheese ball. Continue alternating tomato and cheese until the skewer is full, leaving some space at the top for garnish.
2. Once all the skewers are assembled, tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the skewers for a burst of flavor and color. 3. Just before serving, drizzle balsamic glaze or reduction over the skewers. This adds a tangy sweetness that complements the savory cheese and tomato.
4. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and serve immediately. These appetizers are best enjoyed fresh, so they’re perfect for entertaining or as a quick snack.
