Easy to make appetizer thats perfect for a party or gathering
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 Cherry Tomatoes
- 12 Mozzarella Balls
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 12 Fresh Basil Leaves
- 2-3 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar or balsamic glaze
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Dried basil leaves optional
Instructions
- Place one tomato, one mozzarella ball, and one basil leaf on a skewer or toothpick.
- Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Finish with salt and pepper and dried basil leaves if using.
Notes
- For best results use cherry or grape tomatoes.
- You can use mozzarella balls or slices of mozzarella.
- Fresh mozzarella is great but you can use cubed marinated mozzarella if that's what's available.
- Don't skip on the balsamic! It really brings out the flavor of the cheese and tomatoes.
- If you want a really lovely presentation, go for little bamboo skewers instead of toothpicks - they look so lovely!
- If you have big basil leaves, fold them over and skewer them. Easier to get them in your mouth
- For parties, it can be fun to lay out some other dipping sauces and variations of flavored balsamic.
