Instructions

1

Wash and Prep

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cool water and pat them dry completely with a clean paper towel before assembling.

2

Build the Skewers

Thread one cherry tomato, then one folded basil leaf, and finally one mozzarella ball onto each toothpick or small skewer in that order.

3

Season the Bites

Arrange all assembled bites on a serving plate and drizzle evenly with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper lightly over the top.

Serve Fresh

Serve immediately at room temperature for the best flavor. These do not hold well in the refrigerator once dressed so enjoy them right away.

Substitutions

Common mistakes
