Caprese Skewers
These bite-sized appetizers combine the classic Italian flavors of fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes in a portable, mess-free package.
Ingredients
- 24 cherry tomatoes
- 12 fresh mozzarella balls ciliegine
- 24 fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 12 wooden skewers 6-inch length
Instructions
- Rinse your cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Pat them dry with paper towels – this helps the olive oil stick better.
- If your mozzarella balls are packed in water, drain and pat them dry too.
- Thread your ingredients onto each skewer in this order: tomato, basil leaf (folded in half), mozzarella ball, basil leaf, tomato.
- Arrange your skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
- Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh pepper.
