In a small bowl, combine the halved jalapeño, the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, and orange juice or agave. Let the oil steep at room temperature for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the jalapeño and garlic.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, cracked red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Add in the mozzarella balls and gently toss to coat. (For best flavor, let these marinate in the fridge overnight before assembly.)

Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Drizzle

balsamic vinegar

Ciliegine mozzarella cheese

salt and pepper

toothpicks

For the balsamic drizzle: Add balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan over high heat then bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium then simmer until vinegar is the consistency of thin maple syrup, 20 minutes. You'll know it's done when you can see the bottom of the pan for a second or two after scraping a spatula across. Pour balsamic reduction into a small bowl then set aside to cool. Alternatively you could use store bought balsamic reduction (see notes).

Thread a cheese ball onto a toothpick, followed by a basil leaf - fold in half or into quarters if large. Finish with a cherry tomato then place onto a serving platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Just before serving, sprinkle skewers with salt and pepper then drizzle with cooled balsamic reduction. Serve immediately.

Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Drizzle are a quick, healthy, fresh, and fabulous appetizer recipe! Easy to assemble, and perfectly poppable.

These caprese skewers with balsamic glaze drizzle are so delicious and fun to eat! The marinated mozzarella adds great flavor, and the tomatoes and basil make this recipe to fresh-tasting.

mozzarella

Salt and pepper (to taste)

round cherry tomatoes (not the oval-shaped grape tomatoes)

Balsamic glaze for drizzling (not balsamic vinegar)

Make sure you have twelve 6-inch bamboo skewers ready.

Marinate mozzarella: In a bowl, combine the mozzarella balls with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Let it sit for 15 minutes. It’s a quick marinade, but you can also marinate for up to 3 days if desired. Note: Olive oil solidifies when refrigerated, simply let it come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.

Assemble each skewer: Start with 1 tomato, basil, 2 marinated mozzarella cheese balls, basil, and 1 tomato. Repeat until you have 12 skewers.

Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic glaze to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

These caprese skewers are made with cherry tomatoes, basil and baby mozzarella balls with a balsamic vinegar and olive oil drizzle. They're the perfect summertime party appetizer. Your guests will love this recipe! This recipe yields about 20 little skewers.

skewers

(2 cups) cherry tomatoes (smaller tomatoes are preferable)

ciliegine (mini mozzarella balls), drained

basil

balsamic reduction vinegar

Flaky sea salt

Thread the following onto each skewer, leaving a bit of breathing room between each ingredient: one cherry tomato, one small basil leaf or half of a larger leaf (gently fold the leaf to keep it bite-sized if necessary), one ciliegine, another basil leaf (torn and folded if necessary), and one last tomato.

Arrange the skewers onto a serving platter or plate. When you’re ready to serve, drizzle them lightly with the olive oil, then the balsamic reduction, and sprinkle flaky salt lightly all over them. Caprese skewers are best served immediately, but leftovers will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Fantastic.  Something as classic as caprese can never be overplayed.  This time of year when tomatoes and basil are fresh and ready to be harvested in the garden, something like this is just perfect.  I don't know if I've ever put them on skewers, but it would make a great little app.

I will surely try this mix of ingredients. Peaches, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls?? My kinda healthy snack. Thanks for the idea, Kate! :)

Made these for a garden party and they were a huge hit! The peaches added a wonderful touch and really elevated the flavor. I made these several hours in advance and they held up nicely. Will definitely be making these for more parties.

I was looking for a good recipe for a Bunco party!!  These are great!!

These are soooo good! Perfect for my bbq tomorrow! Thank you - I love all your recipes!

These were finished off right away!  Delish.  I made the sauce and wasn't a big fan, next time I'll try honey rather than maple syrup. But I did a balsamic reduction/glaze and drizzled that over.  These apps make a beautiful presentation and the peaches were a great addition.

We served these skewers for a wedding party by making two topiaries that were placed at each end of the buffet table. The topiaries were made by putting fairly large and tall bamboo sticks stabilized in flower pots with styrofoam balls (covered in cabbage) on top then pushing the end of the skewers into the balls leaving enough of the other end of the skewer for guests to serve themselves. It was a stunning display and elicited lots of favorable comments.
