Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin by washing and gently drying your fresh cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Drain the mini mozzarella balls to remove excess liquid.
Grab your toothpicks or mini skewers and thread a cherry tomato onto the skewer first, followed by a folded basil leaf, and then add a mini mozzarella ball.
After assembling the skewers, arrange them on a platter and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
You can serve the skewers immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a chilled experience.
