Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained

1 cup fresh basil leaves

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

12 bamboo skewers or toothpicks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes to ensure they don't burn during grilling. If you're opting for toothpicks, this step can be skipped.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take one skewer and start by threading one wedge of peach onto it. Follow that with a fresh basil leaf, then add a mozzarella ball. Next, place another basil leaf, followed by a half of a cherry tomato. Finish with one more basil leaf. Continue this process until you've used all the ingredients, aiming for 4-5 ingredients per skewer for balance.

      Season the Skewers: Arrange the finished skewers beautifully on a serving platter. Drizzle them generously with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze, then sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the top according to your taste preference.

        Serve: Serve these skewers right away for the best flavor and freshness. If you desire, grill them on a barbecue or grill pan for about 1-2 minutes per side, just until the peaches soften slightly and the mozzarella warms up for an enhanced flavor experience.

          Enjoy: These Peach Caprese Skewers are an ideal choice for summer gatherings, offering a delightful blend of sweetness, creaminess, and the aromatic freshness of basil.
