# What You'll Need:

01 - 12 cherry tomatoes
02 - 12 mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

03 - Drizzle assembled skewers lightly with olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
04 - Finish by drizzling the cooled balsamic glaze over the skewers just before serving.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • Ready in just 15 minutes—no cooking required except for a quick glaze.

02 -
  • Achte darauf, den Balsamico nicht zu lange zu kochen, damit er nicht zu dick wird.

  • Verwende kleine, gleich große Tomaten und Mozzarella-Bällchen für ein schönes Erscheinungsbild.
