Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large ripe peaches
- 2 pints fresh cherry tomatoes
- 1 package fresh mozzarella pearls (approx. 8 oz bocconcini)
- 16-24 fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- fresh lemon juice Optional: A squeeze of
Instructions
- Prepare Your Peaches: Start by gently peeling your peaches, then cut them in half to remove the pits. Slice each peach half into four pieces, and then chop each slice into three bite-sized chunks. If you're not serving immediately, lightly toss the peach pieces with a tiny bit of fresh lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
- Ready the Basil: Take your fresh basil leaves and tear each one into 2-3 smaller, manageable pieces. This helps to distribute the lovely basil aroma without overwhelming the other flavors.
- Assemble the Skewers: Grab your wooden toothpicks! Carefully thread one bright cherry tomato, followed by one creamy mozzarella pearl, then a piece of the fragrant basil, and finally, a juicy chunk of peach onto each toothpick. Repeat this process until you’ve used all your ingredients or have enough skewers for your gathering.
- Store and Serve: If you're preparing these ahead of time, arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter and cover them tightly with plastic wrap. Just before you're ready to serve, drizzle a generous amount of balsamic glaze over all the skewers. These delightful, easy-to-eat bites are best enjoyed as a single, perfect mouthful!
Notes
Feel free to toss peach pieces with a tiny bit of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning if not serving immediately.
