Bridal Shower Caprese Skewers

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 20 mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

02 - 20 cherry tomatoes

03 - 20 fresh basil leaves

04 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

05 - 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

06 - 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt

07 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

01 - Gently rinse and pat dry the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves with paper towels.

02 - Thread one cherry tomato, one basil leaf (folded if large), and one mozzarella ball onto each skewer in sequence.

03 - Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter in an organized pattern.

04 - Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over all skewers.

05 - Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the skewers.

06 - Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

01 -

They come together in under 20 minutes, leaving you time to actually enjoy your own party instead of sweating in the kitchen.
No cooking required means one less thing to worry about—just assembly, which honestly feels therapeutic.
They're naturally gluten-free and vegetarian, so they work for nearly every dietary preference without feeling like a compromise.

02 -

Pat that mozzarella completely dry before threading—even a drop of water will cause it to slip right off the skewer and roll across your platter like a tiny escape artist.
Assemble these no more than 2 hours before serving, as the acidity from the tomatoes will eventually soften the basil and the glaze will start to separate if sitting too long.

03 -

Chill your platter in the freezer for 10 minutes before arranging the skewers—this keeps the mozzarella firm longer and shows you really care about details.
Use wooden or bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes; they look more elegant than plastic and won't conduct heat if you're working near warmth.
