Wash and dry the tomatoes and basil leaves. Drain the mozzarella balls and pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.

Thread one cherry tomato onto a skewer, followed by a basil leaf folded in half if large, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat the sequence to fill the skewer or keep it simple with one of each.
Season and drizzle:
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle them with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper for flavor.
Serve and enjoy:
Serve immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving for a refreshing bite.
Pro tip: To add a gourmet touch, use heirloom cherry tomatoes for a pop of color or marinate the mozzarella in olive oil, garlic, and Italian herbs before assembling.
