What you need
Ingredient Notes
Mozzarella – Fresh mozzarella is rich and creamy. Get the size of cherry blossoms and are perfect for these skewers. Cherry Tomatoes – The size and flavor of these tomatoes make this recipe a perfect match. Their sweetness works well with the other ingredients. Basil should be freshly made from basil for its aroma and herbaceous flavor. Balsamic Glaze – This is a sweet, tangy, rich glaze, and the perfect accompaniment of tomato and cheese. Salt and black pepper
Add-ins and replacements
Make your own balsamic glaze – boil until the balsamic vinegar is thick, then let cool before sprinkling it on a skewer. Use a variety of tomatoes – add alternative yellow and red cherry tomatoes and use grape tomatoes. Instead of another cheese, Caprese uses mozzarella cheese, but you can change things with cube cheddar, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack cheese. Add olive oil and light rain on the skewers, extra virgin olive oil adds a little richness to this crisp, fresh appetizer.
How to make a Caprese skewer
Skewer the cheese, tomatoes and basil. Drain the water from the mozzarella cheese bowl and start skewering the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil into a plastic skewer. Seasons and GL drugs. Once everything is skewer, add salt and pepper and then drizzle the balsamic glaze just before serving.
Pro Tip: For each skewer, I did two tomatoes, two basil leaves and one mozzarella cheese ball to make sure the cheese wasn’t overwhelmed. This gives them a great balance.
Recipe Tips
Use ripe but not overripe tomatoes. Avoid ripe cherry tomatoes with ripe. Use kosher salt. This salt tastes better than iodinated salts, and it’s a bit rougher, especially when you get a salt crunch along with all the other flavors. Add the glaze just before serving – I don’t want to add this in advance, so the glaze is absorbed by the mozzarella and looks speckled and brown.
FAQ
Caprese skewers can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Do not add balsamic glazes or seasonings as the tomatoes can release liquids. Making them faster will make the tomatoes mushy and the basil wilt.
