Ingredients
  

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Skewers (preferably 6-inch or 8-inch in length)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing the cherry tomatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Rinse the fresh basil leaves and gently dry them as well. Drain the mozzarella balls and place them in a bowl, ready for use.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer and start the assembly process by threading on one cherry tomato half, followed by a fresh basil leaf, and then a mozzarella ball. Repeat this assembling process until the skewer is filled, typically allowing for 2-3 sets of the tomato-basil-mozzarella trio depending on the length of your skewer.

      Season the Skewers: Once all the skewers are assembled, place them on a serving platter and lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Season to taste with a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper, ensuring an even distribution over the ingredients.

        Add Balsamic Glaze: For a sweet and tangy flavor boost, elegantly drizzle the balsamic glaze over the assembled skewers, allowing it to enhance the visual appeal and flavor profile.

          Serve: Arrange the skewers artfully on a serving platter and consider garnishing with any remaining fresh basil leaves for an added touch of color. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or for an even cooler refreshment, allow the skewers to chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
