Ingredients
Caprese Skewers
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup mozzarella pearls
- 24 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare skewers: Thread 2 small mozzarella pearls onto a wooden or metal skewer, creating a base for your skewer.
- Add basil leaf: Fold a fresh basil leaf in half if it's large, then slide it onto the skewer next to the mozzarella pearls.
- Insert cherry tomato: Slide one cherry tomato onto the skewer following the basil leaf.
- Add another basil leaf: Place another basil leaf after the tomato for balance and flavor.
- Add mozzarella pearls: Thread 2 more mozzarella pearls onto the skewer to complete the pattern.
- Repeat assembly: Continue the skewer assembly process for the remaining ingredients until all tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella are used.
- Season and drizzle: Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze, and sprinkle ½ teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the skewers to taste.
Notes
- Use fresh high-quality mozzarella pearls for the best flavor.
- Fold large basil leaves to fit better on the skewers and distribute flavor evenly.
- For a sweeter balsamic touch, use a reduced balsamic glaze.
- These skewers can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; drizzle balsamic glaze before serving.
- For added texture, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt if preferred.
- Use reusable skewers for an eco-friendly option.
