Caprese Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 pint Fresh Mozzarella Balls (Bocconcini)
• 1 bunch Fresh Basil Leaves
• 1/4 cup Balsamic Glaze
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 20-25 Wooden Skewers
• 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves thoroughly. Gently pat them dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Drain the mozzarella balls from their liquid and pat them dry as well.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano to create a flavorful marinade.

4. 4

   Assemble the skewers by alternating a cherry tomato, a mozzarella ball, and a basil leaf. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is mostly filled, leaving a small space at the end for handling.

5. 5

   Brush the assembled skewers lightly with the olive oil and herb mixture, ensuring each tomato, mozzarella ball, and basil leaf is coated.

6. 6

   Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and drizzle generously with balsamic glaze.

7. 7

   Serve immediately or chill for later. Best if consumed within a few hours to maintain freshness.
