Servings: 14
Calories: 88kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 10 ounce grape or cherry tomatoes (1 package)
- 8 ounces mini mozzarella cheese balls
- Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the balsamic vinegar for about 10-15 minutes until it has reduced into more of a glaze, stirring occasionally. The volume of liquid will have reduced as well. You should be able to dip a spoon into the glaze, run your finger through the glaze along the back of the spoon, and see a solid line. Take off heat to cool slightly.
- In a separate, small bowl, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble skewers by alternating between one cherry tomato, one mini mozzarella cheese ball, and a basil leaf.
- Once all skewers are filled and assembled, brush the olive oil mixture over the top, followed by the balsamic glaze over all the skewers.
- Plate and serve.
Notes
Note: When heating your balsamic vinegar (if you choose to make your own glaze) it will begin to have more of a glaze texture. This is what you want! Don’t fret if the volume of liquid has reduced, that’s normal. You should be able to dip a spoon into the glaze, run your finger through the glaze along the back of a spoon and see a solid line.
