Ghostly Caprese Skewer Platter
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Italian
Wooden skewers
Serving platter
- 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
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.
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.
