FAQ

  • Can I prepare these skewers in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the skewers a few hours in advance. However, it's best to drizzle the balsamic glaze just before serving to prevent the basil leaves from wilting.
  • Can I use larger mozzarella balls?

    Yes, you can use larger mozzarella balls, but you will need to cut them into bite-sized pieces. Mozzarella pearls are recommended for ease of assembly and eating.
  • What can I use instead of balsamic glaze?

    If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can use a balsamic vinaigrette or a simple mixture of balsamic vinegar and honey.
