Instructions

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves, then pat them dry.
Thread one cherry tomato, one mozzarella ball, and one basil leaf onto a toothpick or small skewer.
Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter in a single layer.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with salt and pepper just before serving.
Serve immediately while fresh.

Notes

Use heirloom cherry tomatoes for extra color and flavor.

Add a slice of prosciutto for a savory twist.

Swap balsamic glaze for pesto or lemon vinaigrette for a different flavor profile.

Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours without the glaze; add glaze just before serving.

Best enjoyed fresh and cold; not meant for reheating.
