Ingredients
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 (8-ounce) container fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (or more, for drizzling)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wooden skewers (approx. 24)
Instructions
1. On each wooden skewer, thread one cherry tomato.
2. Fold a fresh basil leaf in half and thread it onto the skewer next to the tomato.
3. Thread one mozzarella ball onto the skewer next to the basil.
4. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used.
5. Arrange the completed skewers on a serving platter.
6. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Notes
For a more intense flavor, you can marinate the mozzarella balls in olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder for 30 minutes before skewering.
The balsamic glaze is thick and sweet. If you only have balsamic vinegar, you can reduce it in a small saucepan over low heat until it thickens.
