Ingredients
Ingredients
- 20 cherry tomatoes
- 20 mini mozzarella balls
- Fresh basil leaves (about 20 leaves)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 10 small skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
- Prepare tomato hearts: Cut each cherry tomato diagonally in half. Then flip the halves so the cut sides face each other and press gently to form a heart shape.
- Assemble skewers: Insert a small skewer or toothpick through the tomato heart, followed by a fresh basil leaf, and finally pierce a mini mozzarella ball at the bottom to complete the skewer.
- Arrange and dress: Neatly arrange the assembled skewers on a serving plate, spacing them evenly for an attractive presentation.
- Season and finish: Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly. Sprinkle lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste just before serving for optimal freshness.
Notes
- If cherry tomatoes are not available, grape tomatoes can be used as an alternative.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the freshest flavor and texture.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add thin slices of prosciutto to the skewer along with the basil and mozzarella.
