Start by washing your cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cool running water. Select mozzarella balls that are about the same size as the tomatoes, or slice larger ones into bite-sized pieces. Gently pat everything dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure the Mini Caprese Bites hold well without excess moisture.

Grab a toothpick or skewer to start constructing your Mini Caprese Bites. First, thread a cherry tomato onto the stick, then add a fresh basil leaf followed by a mozzarella ball. Repeat this process until you've utilized all your ingredients, creating a delightful stack of colors and textures.

Carefully arrange your assembled Mini Caprese Bites on a serving platter. Drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil over them, followed by a swirl of balsamic glaze. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper for seasoning.

For a refreshing experience, place the platter of Mini Caprese Bites in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve them cold or allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
