• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano

• 24 pieces Toothpicks or small skewers

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the baby bocconcini to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

Step 3

Meanwhile, rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. If the tomatoes are larger, slice them in half. Otherwise, leave them whole.

Step 4

Rinse and pat dry the fresh basil leaves.

Step 5

Assemble the appetizers by threading one cherry tomato onto a toothpick, followed by a folded basil leaf, a marinated baby bocconcini, another folded basil leaf, and a second cherry tomato.

Step 6

Repeat this process for all 24 skewers, arranging them neatly on a serving platter.

Step 7

Drizzle the skewers with balsamic glaze right before serving for added flavor and presentation.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tomato and Marinated Baby Bocconcini Appetizers!
