Scale
Ingredients
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
- 16 cherry tomatoes
- 16 fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 8 small skull-shaped skewers
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Drain the mozzarella balls thoroughly to remove any excess liquid.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread one mozzarella ball onto each skull-shaped skewer, followed by a cherry tomato and a fresh basil leaf. Repeat this sequence to fill each skewer as desired, typically two sets per skewer.
- Drizzle with Balsamic: Lay the assembled skewers on a serving platter and evenly drizzle balsamic glaze over them just before serving to add a tangy and sweet finish.
Notes
- You can substitute balsamic glaze with aged balsamic vinegar if glaze is not available.
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper on the skewers before drizzling the balsamic.
- Serve immediately after assembly for the freshest taste and to avoid sogginess.
- Use larger skewers if you want to add more layers or ingredients like olives or roasted red peppers.
