Notes
- Use fresh ingredients. Use ripe cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella balls for the best mini Caprese skewers.
- Drizzle the glaze just before serving. The first time I made them too far in advance, the glaze soaked into the mozzarella, and while still delicious, they didn’t have that fresh, glossy finish!
- Cover in the fridge. If you are making the tomato mozzarella basil skewers ahead of time, keep them covered in the fridge so that the mozzarella doesn't dry out.
