- 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
- 10 large leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 20 pieces wooden toothpicks or cocktail skewers
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.
Drain the fresh mozzarella balls and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the skewers.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the skewers for a touch of sweetness and tang.
Sprinkle the skewers lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.
