Gather all your ingredients: ripe cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella pearls, aromatic fresh basil leaves, balsamic glaze, and black pepper. Ensure everything is washed and dried thoroughly.

Take your skewers or toothpicks and start stacking the ingredients: a fresh basil leaf, a cherry tomato, another basil leaf, and then add two mozzarella pearls.

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, resulting in about 12 skewers. Arrange them neatly on a platter.

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled skewers, ensuring each one gets coated.

Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the skewers, allow them to rest for a minute before serving.

Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for a few hours.
