Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained

¼ cup fresh basil leaves

3 tbsp balsamic glaze

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

12 small skewers or toothpicks

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and then cut each half into wedges. Set aside.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer or toothpick and start layering the ingredients. Begin with a mozzarella ball, followed by a halved cherry tomato, a wedge of peach, and a basil leaf. Repeat this process until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the ends for easy handling.

      Drizzle: Once all the skewers are assembled, place them on a serving platter. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the skewers, ensuring they are evenly coated.

        Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the skewers to enhance the flavors.

          Serve: These skewers can be served immediately or chilled in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving for a refreshing touch. They make a perfect appetizer or a light summer meal!
