Strawberry Caprese Skewers summer appetizer recipe

Strawberry Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Glaze

Prep time: 10 minutes

Additional equipment: 16  x 6” wooden skewers

Ingredients:

  • 16 fresh, small strawberries, washed and cut in half across the width
  • 32 medium fresh basil leaves, washed and patted dry
  • 16 mini Mozzarella balls
  • 1 cup of balsamic vinegar

Directions:

  1. Thread the top half of one strawberry onto a wooden skewer with the hull facing up.
  2. Next, fold one basil leaf in half, dark side facing out, and add it to the skewer.
  3. Add one mini Mozzarella ball, followed by another folded basil leaf, and the bottom half of the strawberry.
  4. Repeat steps #1-3 with the remaining strawberries, basil, and Mozzarella until you have 16 completed skewers.
  5. Arrange on a serving platter and set aside.
  6. To prepare the glaze, add balsamic vinegar to a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vinegar is reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume.
  7. Remove glaze from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

.Tip: The warm balsamic glaze will start to melt the cheese on contact. For a cleaner presentation, avoid adding the glaze to the cheese while drizzling it onto the skewers.
