  1. Wash about a cup of cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Drain the mini mozzarella balls to release excess moisture.
  2. Take a toothpick or mini skewer and carefully thread on a cherry tomato, followed by a basil leaf. Add a mozzarella ball and repeat until all ingredients are used.
  3. Place the assembled skewers decoratively on a serving platter. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the skewers. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  4. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to two hours before serving, ensuring to drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze right before serving.
