Ingredients

12 bamboo skewers
24 cherry tomatoes
24 basil leaves
12 ounces salami, cut into 1-inch cubes
12 ounces smoked mozzarella, cut into 1-inch cubes
Olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes. Preheat grill or broiler on low heat.

Wrap each tomato with a basil leaf.

On each skewer, thread a cube of salami, a cube of mozzarella and a basil-wrapped cherry tomato. Repeat with additional salami, mozzarella, and tomato.

Place the skewers on a baking sheet. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat about 1 minute or until just warm. (If grilling, place them on the grill over low heat, or as the coals are burning down, for 1 to 2 minutes, turning once.) Watch skewers carefully so that the cheese softens a little but does not melt.

Arrange skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with cracked pepper. Serve warm.

Dunno about this one.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Something about this was just off. Maybe it was the basil after I broiled them, or the basil I bought. Either way, I didn't... like the basil on there. I'll have to try them without heating them up and see if it's any better.Read more

Hit of the Party
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made a triple batch of these delicious skewers, hoping there would be some leftovers. They were the first thing gone! One... comment from a guest was that she wouldn't bother putting them on the grill - the natural flavors worked so well together un-heated. The basil adds a wonderful softness to the strong flavors! Everyone went home with the recipe!!Read more

Another variation
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for a party recently but changed it up a little. I don't eat meat so I eliminated the salami. I added some... minced garlic to the olive oil and marinated the tomatoes in the oil and garlic before skewing them. Added that little punch. I also added a dash of salt. Paula's recipe here just calls for pepper.Read more
