Black Cat Balsamic Caprese Skewers
Equipment
- Wooden skewers
- Serving platter
Ingredients
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 12 small mozzarella balls
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- 24 black olives
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 12 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Thread one cherry tomato onto each wooden skewer, followed by one mozzarella ball and one basil leaf.
- Add two black olives to each skewer by pressing them into opposite sides of the mozzarella ball to form cat ears.
- Place the finished skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the skewers just before serving.
Notes
Pitted black olives slide onto the mozzarella more easily and keep the ears secure. Assemble the skewers up to four hours ahead and store them covered in the fridge, then add the glaze right before the potluck to avoid sogginess. If the olives feel too large, slice them in half lengthwise before positioning the ears.
