Ingredients
  

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

10-15 fresh basil leaves

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Skewers or toothpicks for assembly

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Drain the mozzarella balls if they're in liquid and pat them dry with a paper towel.

    Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder (if using), salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture over the mozzarella balls to enhance their flavor.

      Assemble the Bites: Take a skewer or toothpick and start by placing one half of a cherry tomato, followed by a mozzarella ball, and then a basil leaf. Repeat this until you’ve used all the ingredients (usually 3-4 of each per skewer yields a nice balance).

        Drizzle with Balsamic: Once your skewers are assembled, place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic glaze right before serving to add a sweet and tangy finish.

          Serve: Enjoy these fresh tomato and mozzarella bites at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or snack!
