Ingredients:
- 1 pint (300g) cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz (225g) fresh mozzarella pearls
- 16-20 large fresh basil leaves (approx. 10g)
- 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
- 1/4 tsp (0.5g) freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup (60ml) thick balsamic glaze
Instructions:
- Pat the cherry tomatoes and mozzarella pearls completely dry with paper towels to ensure the glaze clings to the ingredients.
- Fold each basil leaf in half or quarters to create a tight pocket.
- Thread the bamboo skewers in the following order: cherry tomato, folded basil leaf, and then a mozzarella pearl.
- Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter.
- Lightly drizzle the skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Use a squeeze bottle to apply the balsamic glaze in a zig-zag motion across the skewers.
