Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 12 pieces Baby bocconcini cheese
- 24 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 24 pieces Toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the baby bocconcini to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Meanwhile, rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. If the tomatoes are larger, slice them in half. Otherwise, leave them whole.
Rinse and pat dry the fresh basil leaves.
Assemble the appetizers by threading one cherry tomato onto a toothpick, followed by a folded basil leaf, a marinated baby bocconcini, another folded basil leaf, and a second cherry tomato.
Repeat this process for all 24 skewers, arranging them neatly on a serving platter.
Drizzle the skewers with balsamic glaze right before serving for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tomato and Marinated Baby Bocconcini Appetizers!
