Ingredients
  

20 cherry tomatoes

20 fresh basil leaves

20 mozzarella balls (bocconcini, about 1 inch in diameter)

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

20 wooden or metal skewers (6 inches in length for optimal size)

Instructions
 

Prepare the ingredients: Start by washing the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cool, running water. Gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. If your mozzarella balls are submerged in liquid, carefully drain them and use paper towels to pat them dry, ensuring they are as moisture-free as possible.

    Assemble the skewers: Take a skewer and begin threading the ingredients. First, add one cherry tomato. Next, place a basil leaf on the skewer (you can fold the leaf in half if it's large). Follow this with a mozzarella ball. Repeat the sequence—tomato, basil, mozzarella—until the skewer is filled, aiming for about three sets of each ingredient per skewer.

      Season the skewers: Once all skewers are assembled, arrange them attractively on a serving platter. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the skewers, followed by the balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

        Add salt and pepper: Lightly sprinkle each skewer with salt and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall flavors and add a hint of spice.

          Serve and enjoy: These delightful skewers are best served immediately; however, feel free to cover and refrigerate them for up to an hour. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making for an even tastier bite!
