Start by gathering all your ingredients: the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil leaves. Make sure your mozzarella is patted dry to prevent sogginess. It’s important to have everything prepared before you begin skewering.
Next, take your 6-inch bamboo skewers and begin the assembly. Skewer a cherry tomato first, ensuring it’s secure but not too tight.
Follow the tomato with a fresh basil leaf. The leaf should be folded slightly to fit nicely on the skewer.
Then, add a mozzarella ball to the skewer. This creates a lovely trio of flavors: sweet, aromatic, and creamy.
Continue this process until you have your desired number of skewers. Don’t worry about being too precise; the beauty of these skewers lies in their rustic charm!
Once you’ve assembled all the skewers, arrange them on a platter. This is where you can get creative with your presentation.
Sprinkle a bit of pepper over the skewers to add a touch of seasoning. This simple step elevates the overall flavor.
For serving, drizzle balsamic vinegar over top just before you present the skewers. This keeps the basil fresh and vibrant.
Enjoy them immediately! These skewers are best served fresh, allowing the flavors to shine.
