Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained

Fresh basil leaves (about 16-20 leaves)

3 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

12 skewers (6-inch or longer)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: Begin by assembling your skewers. Take a skewer and thread one peach wedge onto it, followed by a basil leaf for a burst of freshness. Next, add a mozzarella ball, and then a half cherry tomato. Finish this cluster with another basil leaf. Repeat this process to create 3-4 clusters on each skewer, making sure to leave some space at the end for easy handling.

    Season the Skewers: Once all your skewers are assembled, place them on a serving tray. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over them, ensuring an even coating. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the fresh ingredients.

      Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Just before you’re ready to serve, take your balsamic glaze and lightly drizzle it over the skewers. This adds a delicious sweet and tangy contrast that perfectly complements the peaches and mozzarella.

        Chill and Serve: For an extra refreshing experience, place the skewers in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes prior to serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully and cools down the skewers, making them an ideal summer appetizer.

          Present: Arrange the skewers artfully on a serving platter. Consider adding extra fresh basil leaves for garnish to enhance the visual appeal. Serve immediately to enjoy the delightful combination of sweet peaches, savory mozzarella, and aromatic basil.
