Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 24 cherry tomatoes
  • 24 mini mozzarella balls bocconcini, drained
  • 24 fresh basil leaves
  • 24 small bamboo skewers or toothpicks
  • 1/2 cup store-bought balsamic glaze or 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar + 1 tbsp honey, reduced
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Thread a tomato, a basil leaf (folded if large), and a mozzarella ball onto each skewer.
  2. Arrange skewers in a single layer in an airtight container lined with paper towels to absorb moisture.
  3. Whisk olive oil with a little salt and pepper; drizzle lightly over skewers if serving within a few hours.
  4. Store covered in the fridge up to 24 hours; keep glaze separate.
  5. Just before serving, drizzle with balsamic glaze or warm reduced balsamic for a glossy finish.
