Ingredients
  • 16 Strawberries
  • 32 Basil Leaves
  • 16 Mini Mozarella Balls
  • 1 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil Optional
Instructions
  1. Cut the strawberries in half across the width (hamburger style cut) with the hull intact. 

  2. Press the bottom half of the strawberry on the skewer. Follow it with a piece of folded in half basil then a mini mozzarella ball. Follow that with another piece of folded basil then the top of the strawberry with the hull facing up.

  3. Repeat for the rest of the strawberries and set aside on a serving platter.

  4. 3. To prepare the glaze, add balsamic vinegar to a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vinegar is reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume.

    4. Remove glaze from heat and let cool slightly. Drizzle over the skewers, along with some extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy! 

  5. Over medium high heat, cook the balsamic vinegar in a small pan. Stir frequently and cook until the balsamic vinegar is reduced to approximately 1/3 of it's original volume.

  6. Remove the glaze from the heat and let cool slightly. Drizzle it over the strawberries and try to avoid the cheese as it will likely start to melt it on contact. Drizzle with olive oil if using and serve.
