Ingredients
  

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 pound fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

Fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers (wooden or reusable metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by rinsing the cherry tomatoes under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning during grilling (if you choose to grill them).

    Assemble the Skewers: On each skewer, thread a cherry tomato, followed by a fresh basil leaf, and then a mozzarella ball. Repeat, adding another cherry tomato, followed by another basil leaf and mozzarella ball until the skewer is filled (about 2-3 of each depending on skewer length).

      Drizzle and Season: Once all the skewers are assembled, place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil generously over the skewers. If desired, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.

        Sprinkle with Seasoning: Finish with a light sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

          Serve: Enjoy these delightful skewers immediately as a fresh appetizer or light snack. They can also be served at room temperature, making them perfect for picnics or potlucks!
