Ingredients for this recipe
Tomatoes: Ensure you use cherry tomatoes. They should be close in size to the mozzarella balls. Otherwise, you can cut them in halves.
Fresh mozzarella balls: Use mini mozzarella balls.
Basil: Fresh basil leaves will add extra freshness.
Balsamic glaze: You can use your favorite brand.
How to make this recipe
First, cut cherry tomatoes in half and dry the mozzarella balls on a paper or tea towel to absorb excess moisture.
Thread a cherry tomato half on each skewer, followed by a basil leaf, a mozzarella ball, another basil leaf, and finally another tomato half.
Place them on a plate and drizzle balsamic glaze on top.
Tips for making this recipe
What to do if you can't find mini mozzarella balls: If you can't find mini mozzarella balls, you can cut a fresh mozzarella into cubes or cut small balls in half as we did.
Ensure you dry mozzarella balls before you thread them: Place the mozzarella cheese balls in a folded piece of paper towel. Add another folded piece of paper towel on top and gently squeeze to remove excess liquid. This step will prevent them from releasing liquid when plated.
Recipe variations: If you're not a fan of balsamic glaze, you can add pesto on top or make a dressing with olive oil and dried oregano. It will taste so good as well!
