    Caprese Skewers

    Jul 25, 2021 · 2 Comments

    It's 6:30 you gotta be at the party in an hour and you remember you need to bring an appy....#$%*!!! Nah, you got this with Caprese Skewers. These are so simple and delicious.. everyone always loves them.

    Caprese Skewer Ingredients

    • Balsamic Reduction Glaze
    • Tomato
    • Mozzarella
    • Basil

    THATS IT!

    In these pictures I used Bocconcini from Tre Stelle. You don't need to do this, you can use pizza mozzarella. I prefer it, truthfully! Why? Because its a lot saltier than the fresh mozzarella but honestly both are great so use what you have/can find.

    Making Balsamic Glaze for Caprese Skewers

    Make your own Balsamic Glaze. I have never done this but the word on the street is that its easy so if you're wanting to make these and have everything but the balsamic glaze here is a good recipe to help you out. You basically reduce down balsamic vinegar and a sweetener (Brown sugar or maple syrup)

    What Skewers should you use? I've used regular skewers that I cut in half, I've used tooth picks and I've used cocktail skewers. Head to the dollar store and they will hook you up.

    Obsessed with Caprese? Try Caprese Grilled Cheese next, you will not regret it!

    Ingredients

    Instructions
     

    • wash the tomatoes and basil, dry them off
    • remove bocconcini from their container and pat dry.
    • cut the bocconcini in half and the basil into thirds
      if you're using baby tomatoes that are on the larger size, cut them into more manageable bit size sizes
    • place them all on the skewer. I like to go tomato, basil, mozza, basil, tomato.
    • drizzle balsamic reduction on prepared skewers just before serving.

      approximately 300 million pounds of cheese annually, mostly on pizza.
