Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained and patted dry

1 cup fresh basil leaves, washed

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Skewers, approximately 6 inches in length

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baguette: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and develop a satisfying crunch. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take your skewers and start assembling the Caprese bites. Begin by sliding on one halved cherry tomato, followed by a mozzarella ball, then a fresh basil leaf. Add another halved cherry tomato on top. Continue this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at both ends for easy handling.

      Drizzle & Season: Place the assembled skewers neatly on a serving platter. Use a spoon to thoughtfully drizzle the skewers with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the overall flavors.

        Serve: These delightful skewers can be served immediately for a fresh taste or can be chilled in the refrigerator for up to an hour prior to serving. They make for a refreshing appetizer or a fun, shareable snack at parties!
