Alcoeur Apron's Mini Caprese Skewers

Ingredients

You will need 32 4-inch bamboo skewers, or something similar. We took normal skewers and cut them into 4-inch pieces. Extra long toothpicks would work as well.

• 8 ounce container of pearl size mozzarella balls (~100 per container)

• 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 large bunch fresh basil leaves

• Extra virgin olive oil

• Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Optional Add-ons

• Pitted kalamata olives, halved

• thinly sliced prosciutto or salami

• Balsamic reduction, for drizzle at end

Steps

1. Thread the ingredients onto the skewers in alternating patterns: mozzarella ball, tomato, basil, mozzarella, tomato, basil, etc. Alternate in additional items if available: basil, mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto, olive, etc.

2. Once all skewers are fitted to your liking, lay them on a platter. Drizzle them generously with olive oil, season liberally with salt and pepper, and finish with a gently drizzle of the balsamic reduction.

3. Serve and enjoy!
