Share:
Ingredients
- 12 mozzarella balls bocconcini
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic sliced, optional
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 24 cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, about 1 pint
- 24 small basil leaves or 12 large
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze optional
Instructions
- Combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic if using, and mozzarella. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Wash tomatoes and basil leaves and gently pat dry. If basil leaves are large, rip in half.
- Thread a cherry tomato on each skewer followed by a basil leaf, a mozzarella ball, another basil leave and finally another tomato.
- Discard garlic slices (or reserve for cooking) and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil marinade and balsamic glaze over skewers. Season with salt & pepper.
Notes
- Marinating the cheese is optional but adds great flavor. You can also check the deli of your local grocery store, they often sell marinated bocconcini.
- If you don't marinate the cheese, you can skip the seasonings and drizzle the skewers with olive oil and balsamic glaze. While you can buy it, balsamic glaze is easy to make at home.
- Prepare skewers up to 24 hours ahead of time.
