Instructions

Start with 12 6-inch skewers. Thread the tomatoes, basil and mozzarella onto the skewers in the pattern shown in the images above.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the skewers on a plate and drizzle with the olive oil mixture.
Place the balsamic glaze in a small plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Drizzle the balsamic over the skewers, then serve.

Notes

Look for cheese balls, basil leaves and cherry tomatoes that are all about the same size to make the skewers easier to serve and lay on a plate. Ciliegine mozzarella is about the same size as cherry tomatoes.
Make sure all the components of your skewers are bite-sized for easy eating.
I use both red and yellow tomatoes for color contrast. You can use whatever cherry tomatoes are ripe and available.
