Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

A handful of fresh basil leaves

3 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Skewers (6-8 inches in length)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: Take your skewers and begin by threading the ingredients onto them. Start with a wedge of peach, followed by a mozzarella ball, then a cherry tomato half, and finish with a fresh basil leaf. Repeat this order until the skewer is filled, aiming for an attractive alternating pattern that showcases the colors.

    Season the Skewers: After assembling your skewers, place them on a large platter. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the skewers. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients.

      Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Once seasoned, take the balsamic glaze and lightly drizzle it over the skewers. This adds a delightful sweet and tangy flavor that beautifully complements the sweetness of the peaches and creaminess of the mozzarella.

        Chill & Serve: Allow the skewers to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This waiting period helps the flavors meld together for an even tastier bite. These skewers can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, making them a versatile appetizer.

          Garnish: For an elegant finish, consider sprinkling additional fresh basil leaves or a bit more balsamic glaze over the skewers just before serving. This adds a pop of color and extra flavor.
