Ingredients
  

1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup creamy feta cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, gently washed and dried

1/4 cup balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons high-quality extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Skewers (wooden or metal, approximately 6 inches in length)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by rinsing the cherry tomatoes and delicately drying them along with the basil leaves using a paper towel. Cut the feta cheese into cubes that are roughly 1-inch in size, ensuring each piece can easily be skewered.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer and thread on one halved cherry tomato, followed by a fresh basil leaf, then a cube of feta cheese, and finish with another halved cherry tomato. Repeat this sequence until the skewer is nearly filled, leaving about an inch of space at each end for easier handling. Aim for 3-4 sets of ingredients on each skewer.

      Season the Skewers: Once all the skewers are fully assembled, drizzle them liberally with the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze to add richness and flavor. Evenly sprinkle the dried oregano, along with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to enhance the taste of each skewer.

        Chill for Flavor (Optional): For those who prefer a refreshing burst of flavor, allow the assembled skewers to rest in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes. This optional step helps to meld the flavors beautifully and serves as a cooling treat.

          Serve with Style: Carefully arrange the skewers on a beautiful serving platter. For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle any remaining balsamic glaze over the top before serving. Enjoy these delightful skewers immediately as a vibrant appetizer or a light, flavorful snack!
