Ingredients

  • 24 red cherry tomatoes
  • 12 yellow cherry tomatoes
  • 24 bite sized fresh mozzarella balls
  • 36 Small basil leaves
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 1 /2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start with 12 6-inch skewers. Thread the tomatoes, basil and mozzarella onto the skewers in the pattern shown in the images above.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Arrange the skewers on a plate and drizzle with the olive oil mixture.
  4. 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.
