Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 20 pieces Fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
- 20 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
- 20 pieces Wooden toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Drain the fresh mozzarella balls and pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Take one toothpick or skewer and thread one cherry tomato onto it, followed by a basil leaf (fold it in half if it's too large), and then a mozzarella ball.
Repeat the threading process for the remaining toothpicks or skewers until all ingredients are used.
Arrange the completed skewers on a serving platter in a visually appealing way.
Drizzle the hors d'oeuvres with extra virgin olive oil and a small amount of balsamic glaze for added flavor and presentation.
Lightly sprinkle the skewers with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tomato Mozzarella Basil Hors D’Oeuvres!
