- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Prepare skewers and serving platter, no stovetop or oven needed.
- Combine Ingredients: Reduce balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Line serving platter with parchment paper if desired to catch drips.
- Assemble the Dish: Thread peach wedges, mozzarella balls, and basil leaves onto skewers, alternating for color and balance.

- Finishing Touches: Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic reduction, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange skewers on a platter and serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are firm but ripe to hold shape on the skewer.
- Drain mozzarella well before using to prevent excess moisture.
- Let balsamic reduction cool before drizzling so it doesn’t wilt the basil.
- These skewers can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerated.
