Mozzarella Eyeball Caprese Skewers with Balsamic
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Italian
Wooden skewers
Cutting board
Serving plate
- 12 small mozzarella balls
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 12 fresh basil leaves
- 12 wooden skewers
- 12 black olives
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
Place one mozzarella ball on each wooden skewer. Slice each black olive in half and press one half onto the front of each mozzarella ball to form an eyeball.
Add one cherry tomato and one basil leaf to each skewer after the mozzarella. Arrange the finished skewers on a serving plate.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over all the skewers just before serving.
Assemble the skewers up to two hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, then add the balsamic glaze right before guests arrive so the cheese stays firm. If you want a bit more richness, brush a light coat of olive oil on the tomatoes first.
