FAQ

  • Can I make these ahead of time?

    Yes, you can assemble the skewers a few hours in advance. Store them in the refrigerator and drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving to prevent the basil from wilting.
  • What if I don't have balsamic glaze?

    You can use a balsamic reduction or simply drizzle with balsamic vinegar. For a sweeter option, add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the vinegar.
  • Can I use different types of tomatoes?

    Yes, you can use grape tomatoes or even cut larger tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Just ensure they are of similar size to the mozzarella balls.
