Mozzarella Cherry Tomato And Basil Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, salt, pepper flakes, and olive oil in a medium glass bowl. Cover and microwave on high until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Cool. Add the bocconcini and refrigerate for at least 1 and up to 24 hours. Thread a yellow cherry tomato onto a skewer, wrap a bocconcini in a basil leaf and add to the skewer, then finish with a red tomato. For a dramatic presentation, use both pear and cherry tomatoes. Halve the top cherry tomato and use it as a stand for the skewer. Repeat with the remaining cheese and tomatoes. Save the oil for a dipping sauce and serve with a small bowl of kosher salt.

Steps:

• Wrap each mozzarella ball with a basil leaf.
• Thread a tomato half, a basil-wrapped mozzarella ball, and another tomato half onto a skewer. Repeat until all tomatoes are on skewers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Using a toothpick, spear a half of a tomato, a leaf of basil, a mozzarella ball, and another half of a tomato. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Place on a serving dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix the vinegar and oil together in a small bowl to serve as a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Halve the cherry tomatoes.
• Pluck leaves from basil and tear into 1 inch pieces.
• Cut the prosciutto into 2 inch segments.
• Skewer a tomato half (uncut side first) with a toothpick and slide to the end of the toothpick.
• Skewer basil, then mozzarella pearl, then basil.
• Fold 2 inch piece of prosciutto in half and skewer.
• Take another tomato half and skewer (cut side first).
