Calories 150 kcal
- 16 cherry tomatoes
- 16 small mozzarella balls bocconcini, drained
- 16 fresh basil leaves
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic glaze
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
- Toothpicks or small skewers for serving
If using toothpicks or skewers, prepare them by laying them out on your work surface.
Assemble the caprese bites by skewering a cherry tomato, a basil leaf (fold it if large), and a mozzarella ball onto each toothpick or skewer. Arrange the assembled caprese bites on a serving platter. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the bites. The balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the freshness of the tomato, basil, and mozzarella.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. The seasoning will enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients. Serve immediately, offering a burst of classicItalian flavors in every bite.
Tip:
For an extra touch of flavor, you can marinate the mozzarella balls in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and some dried herbs like oregano or thyme before assembling the bites.
