Wash and pat dry your cherry tomatoes. If you prefer a roasted flavor, cut them in half, drizzle with olive oil, season generously, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.

Drain any excess liquid from your small mozzarella balls and pat them dry. If larger, cut them in half to match the size of your cherry tomatoes.

Grab your toothpicks or small skewers, and thread a cherry tomato, a fresh basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball onto each skewer. Repeat until all your ingredients are used up.

Arrange your assembled bites on a platter. Drizzle with high-quality olive oil and balsamic glaze, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Chill your bites in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors, or serve them cold or at room temperature.
