- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup basil pesto
- Toothpicks
To assemble the bites, simply skewer a cherry tomato half, a cube of mozzarella, and another cherry tomato half onto a toothpick. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up. Drizzle the pesto over the top of the skewers, or serve it on the side for dipping.
