Ingredients
  

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup feta cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, whole

1/4 cup balsamic glaze, for drizzling

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

1 teaspoon dried oregano, for seasoning

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal, approximately 6 inches)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by rinsing the cherry tomatoes under cool water and drying them thoroughly with a paper towel. Next, rinse the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry as well. Cut the feta cheese into bite-sized cubes, aiming for roughly the same size as the halved tomatoes for uniformity.

    Assemble Skewers: Take a skewer and start threading the ingredients. Begin with one halved cherry tomato, followed by a whole basil leaf, then a cube of feta cheese. Add another halved cherry tomato on top. Repeat this pattern 2-3 more times until the skewer is filled, ensuring to leave some space at each end for easy handling.

      Season the Skewers: Once all your skewers are assembled, place them on a serving dish. Drizzle the skewers evenly with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze to enhance the flavors. Sprinkle the dried oregano, along with salt and freshly cracked pepper, over each skewer for an extra layer of seasoning.

        Chill (Optional): For optimal flavor, let the skewers rest in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. This optional step is highly recommended as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a refreshing taste.

          Serve: Carefully arrange the skewers on a large serving platter. For an elegant touch, add a final drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top just before serving. Enjoy these delightful skewers as an appetizer or a light snack with friends and family!
