Ghostly Caprese Skewer Platter
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Italian
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Wooden skewers
  • Serving platter

Ingredients
  

  • 12 bocconcini mozzarella balls
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 12 fresh basil leaves
  • 12 wooden skewers
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 24 thin slices black olives

Instructions
 

  • Thread one cherry tomato onto each wooden skewer, followed by one basil leaf and one bocconcini mozzarella ball.
  • Repeat the process until all twelve skewers are complete.
  • Arrange the finished skewers in a single layer on a serving platter.
  • Add two small pieces of black olive to each mozzarella ball to create eyes.
  • Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze lightly over the skewers just before serving.

Notes

Use the remaining balsamic glaze as a dip on the side if guests want extra flavor. Assemble the skewers a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator, then add the olive eyes and drizzle right before guests arrive so the mozzarella stays firm.
