Ingredients
  

1 pint cherry tomatoes (a colorful mix of red, yellow, and orange for a vibrant presentation)

8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), preferably marinated for added flavor

1 bunch fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Skewers (6-inch or 8-inch wooden or bamboo skewers)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by soaking the wooden or bamboo skewers in water for about 15 minutes. This helps prevent them from burning during preparation. While the skewers are soaking, rinse the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cool water, then gently dry them using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take one soaked skewer and begin by threading a cherry tomato onto it. Follow with a fresh basil leaf, then add a mozzarella ball. Repeat this pattern (tomato, basil, mozzarella) until the skewer is filled, leaving about 1-2 inches of space at both ends for easy handling. Typically, you can fit 2-3 sets of tomato, basil, and mozzarella on each skewer, depending on the size of your ingredients.

      Season Well: Once you’ve assembled all the skewers, place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the skewers evenly. Next, sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to your preference, ensuring that all components are well-coated.

        Add the Finishing Touch: Before serving, elegantly drizzle the balsamic glaze over the assembled skewers to enhance their flavor and visual appeal.

          Serve Immediately: Arrange the skewers on a serving platter, alternating colors for a stunning presentation. For an extra touch, consider garnishing with a few additional basil leaves for height and freshness.
