These skewers feature fresh mozzarella, savory prosciutto, and sweet pickled peaches, all enhanced with basil and balsamic glaze. Ideal for appetizers or light snacks, they are a crowd-pleaser at any event!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups pickled peaches (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh basil leaves (about 10-12 leaves)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers (6-8 inches long)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Lay out all ingredients on your kitchen counter for easy access.
  2. Prepare the Mozzarella: If using larger mozzarella balls, cut them in half for easier handling.
  3. Slice the Prosciutto: Cut prosciutto into strips about 1 inch wide if not pre-sliced.
  4. Prepare the Pickled Peaches: Drain store-bought pickled peaches or ensure homemade ones are cooled and ready.
  5. Wash the Basil: Rinse basil leaves under cold water and pat dry.
  6. Prepare the Skewers: Set aside wooden skewers; soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes if grilling.
  7. Start Assembling: Thread a mozzarella ball onto a skewer.
  8. Add the Prosciutto: Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the mozzarella ball.
  9. Add the Pickled Peach: Slide a pickled peach onto the skewer.
  10. Incorporate the Basil: Add a folded basil leaf to the skewer.
  11. Repeat the Process: Continue adding 2-3 mozzarella balls, prosciutto, pickled peaches, and basil leaves per skewer.
  12. Season the Skewers: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled skewers and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  13. Grilling the Skewers (Optional): Preheat grill to medium heat and grill skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until mozzarella softens and prosciutto crisps.
  14. Serving the Skewers: Arrange grilled skewers on a platter and drizzle with more balsamic glaze if desired.
  15. Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with crusty bread or a simple salad.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the number of ingredients on each skewer based on your preference.
  • These skewers can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute prosciutto with marinated artichokes or roasted red peppers.
