Ingredients
Vegetables & Cheese
- 20 cherry tomatoes
- 20 mini mozzarella balls
- Fresh basil leaves (about 20 leaves)
Dressings & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Tools
- 10 small skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomatoes: Cut each cherry tomato diagonally in half. Carefully flip the halves and place two halves together with the pointed ends aligned to form a heart shape.
- Assemble the Skewers: Insert a small skewer or toothpick through the center of the tomato heart, then thread a fresh basil leaf and finally a mini mozzarella ball, creating a layered bite-sized skewer.
- Arrange and Dress: Place all the assembled skewers neatly on a serving plate. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the skewers, followed by the balsamic glaze to add a sweet tangy flavor.
- Season and Serve: Lightly sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the skewers according to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and vibrant presentation.
Notes
- If cherry tomatoes are unavailable, grape tomatoes make a suitable substitute.
- For the best flavor and texture, serve the skewers immediately after assembly.
- To add an extra savory touch, you can include a slice of prosciutto wrapped around the mozzarella ball or threaded on the skewer.
