Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
- 1 pt Cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz Mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
- 1 bunch Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 12 Wooden skewers (6-8 inches)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool them down quickly.
2. Pat the tortellini dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Drain the mozzarella balls if they're in liquid.
4. Assemble the skewers: Slide one tortellini onto a wooden skewer, followed by a cherry tomato, a folded basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is full, leaving a little space at the top for a handle.
5. Repeat the assembly process with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
6. Place the assembled skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the skewers.
7. Sprinkle the nibbles with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
8. Serve immediately or keep chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
