Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing 1 pint of cherry tomatoes and a handful of fresh basil leaves under cold water. Gently pat them dry with a clean towel.
  2. Drain 8 ounces of mini mozzarella balls in a colander, ensuring there’s no excess moisture.
  3. Grab your toothpicks or mini skewers and begin threading a cherry tomato, followed by a folded basil leaf and a mini mozzarella ball, repeating until complete.
  4. Place the assembled skewers on a platter and drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over them, then season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  5. Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving, without drizzling oil or glaze.
