I love to make mini caprese skewers for holiday parties. These cute appetizers are easy, fast, and don’t take up any oven space. They are actually great for parties any time of the year but the colors (red, green, and white) are especially perfect for the Christmas season. You might even want to serve the skewers in the formation of a wreath for extra holiday cheer. Next time you are in charge of a holiday appetizer consider mini caprese skewers, you won’t regret it!
Mini Skewers (I use the 4″ size.)
Fresh Basil
Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
Mozzarella Pearls (I prefer the ones stored in water.)
Balsamic Glaze (You can make your own or purchase a bottle like I do.)
Step 1: Put the Ingredients on the Skewer
You can decide the order. It will definitely look better if each skewer is the same (I was experimenting).
Tips – I used grape tomatoes but I think cherry tomatoes would have looked better. The basil looked better when I tore the bigger pieces in half or quarters.
Step 2: Drizzle the Glaze
Place the skewers on a platter and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
That’s it! I told you it was easy, enjoy.
