Instructions
Making Caprese Skewers With Balsamic Glaze is incredibly simple. Follow these steps for a successful result:
1. Prep Ingredients: Wash the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves thoroughly. Drain the fresh mozzarella and set aside.
2. Choose Skewers: Select your desired skewer size. For bite-sized snacks, toothpicks work wonderfully, while longer skewers can be used for a more substantial presentation.
3. Assemble Skewers: On each skewer, thread one cherry tomato half, followed by a basil leaf, and a fresh mozzarella ball. Repeat the sequence until the skewer is filled, leaving space at both ends for easy handling.
4. Repeat Process: Continue assembling skewers until all ingredients are used. Aim for a balanced mix of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil on each skewer.
5. Seasoning: Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil then season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
6. Add Balsamic Glaze: Finish by drizzling balsamic glaze over the assembled skewers. This adds a beautiful shine and a sweet tanginess.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Caprese Skewers fresh for the best flavors, or store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a platter of delicious Caprese Skewers With Balsamic Glaze ready in no time!
