Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, cut into wedges

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Skewers (8-inch wooden or metal)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Start by cutting the peaches into wedges, halving the cherry tomatoes, and rinsing the fresh basil leaves. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10-15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill or in the oven.

    Assemble Skewers: Take a skewer and thread a peach wedge, followed by a basil leaf, then a mozzarella ball, and a halved cherry tomato. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving a bit of space at both ends for easy handling. You can aim for 3-4 repetitions per skewer for a vibrant look.

      Season: Once assembled, drizzle the skewers lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper over them for added flavor.

        Drizzle Balsamic Glaze: On a serving platter, place the skewers and lightly drizzle them with balsamic glaze for an extra pop of flavor and visual appeal.

          Serve: Garnish with any remaining basil leaves. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish!
