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: Begin by soaking the bamboo skewers in water for about 10-15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. If using toothpicks, you can skip this step.

    Assemble the Skewers: On each skewer, thread one wedge of peach, followed by a basil leaf, a mozzarella ball, another basil leaf, a cherry tomato half, and then finish with another basil leaf. Repeat until all ingredients are used, typically 4-5 sets per skewer.

      Season the Skewers: Arrange the assembled skewers on a platter. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

        Serve: Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. For added flavor, you can slightly grill the skewers on a barbecue or grill pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side, just enough to soften the peaches and warm the mozzarella.

          Enjoy: These Peach Caprese Skewers are perfect for summer gatherings or as a light appetizer that combines sweetness, creaminess, and the fresh taste of basil.
