Caprese Skewers
Delightful and refreshing bite-sized treats of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil drizzled with balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
For the Skewers
- 24 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 24 pieces mini mozzarella cheese balls
- 24 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
For the Marinade
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Stir well to mix the ingredients together.
- Add the mini mozzarella balls to the bowl with the seasoned oil. Gently toss to coat them evenly. For the best flavor, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or ideally, overnight in the refrigerator.
Assembly
- Take your skewers and thread them with a cherry tomato, followed by a folded basil leaf, and a marinated mozzarella ball. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Optionally, drizzle with some of the seasoned olive oil for extra flavor before serving.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the most vibrant flavor. Prepare skewers just before guests arrive to keep them looking fresh. Experiment with flavored oils or vinegars for variety.
