Ingredients
- 24 mozzarella pearls also known as bocconcini – stretched curd cheese made from cows milk
- 6 large basil leaves broken in half
- 12 cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze or vincotto or good quality balsamic vinegar
- 12 large toothpicks
Instructions

Notes
If you can only find the bigger mozzarella balls, use one instead of two per skewer.
You can prepare these ahead of time (overnight). Cover and store in the refrigerator and drizzle the balsamic glaze right before serving.
Dry the mozzarella balls lightly with a paper towel before adding them to your skewers. You don’t need to rinse them.
Feel free to try out different variations by adding kalamata olives, sliced salami, or cooked tortellini to the skewers.
When taking out for picnics or on the boat, pack up the balsamic in a separate container and add when you're ready to serve.
