Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Glaze

Wash the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves, then gently pat them dry. Drain the mozzarella balls and set all ingredients aside for easy assembly.

Take a small wooden skewer or appetizer pick and thread one cherry tomato, one folded basil leaf, and one mozzarella ball onto the skewer. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used. Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter.

Drizzle the assembled skewers lightly with extra virgin olive oil if desired. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Finish by drizzling balsamic glaze over the top just before serving.

Serve the Caprese skewers immediately for the freshest flavor. If preparing ahead, keep them chilled and add the balsamic glaze right before serving to maintain the best texture and appearance.
