Ingredients
40 grape tomatoes
20 ounces of mozzarella cheese, cubed
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons of fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 pinches of salt
2 pinches of ground black pepper
2 cups of balsamic vinegar
40 toothpicks or skewers
Instructions for Skewers
Toss the tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until well coated.
Take a toothpick or a skewer and add one tomato and one piece of mozzarella cheese. Repeat until you have the serving you need.
Instructions for Balsamic Glaze
Add one cup of balsamic vinegar to a saucepan over medium heat.
Once it comes to a boil, set on simmer for about 15 minutes until it is reduced to a syrup consistency, you can check consistency by using the back of the spoon.
As it cools, it will thicken a bit more.
Arrange the skewers on a platter; drizzle the glaze on top as your guest arrives.
Serve and Enjoy!
