Today I bring you another edition of Happy Hour at Home.
You know one of my favorite flavors is basil. I love a good mozzarella, and Soy Kaas has a great vegan version. I am so close to planting my vegetable garden, which always includes two plants of basil and a few roma tomato.
We spend the summer eating caprese and bruschetta themed dishes. This is just the first.
caprese skewers
grape or cherry tomatoes
fresh basil leaves
mozzarella (Soy Kaas vegan)
skewers
Cut mozzarella into bite size pieces. Wrap each mozzarella in a basil leaf, and alternate with tomatoes on the skewer. If you are feeling adventurous, place skewers on indirect heat on grill a few minutes – they taste amazing grilled!
In other news, I have been eating a lot of this. I love it.
What are you eating today?

Everything you make is art—I would have hated to eat these because they were so pretty, but I’m 100% team Caprese, too!
Ah, the memories…
agreed. its so pretty. I would feel bad eating such glorious looking food!
Wow these look amazing I so want to try this recipe.
I LOVE THESE! They’re the perfect combination of beauty, taste, and freshness. I want them! (With chicken, of course.
)
These look wonderful; but how can anything caprese be bad, anyways?! I bet they are spectacular lightly grilled…ahhh, c’mon, summer! get here now!
Wow! These look amazing ~ as soon as I saw the pic on WIAW, I had to come right over and check them out. This would make an awesome appetizer for a BBQ with friends!
These are beautiful and look absolutely amazing! I can’t wait for my basil and cherry tomatoes to be harvestable (that’s a word now) so I can try them out!
Those look beautiful! Wow. Best presentation I think I’ve ever seen.
I have to second (or third) the comment on the beauty of those skewers! Probably going to have to steal that idea many times this summer…although I’m not envisioning some sort of watermelon/mint leaf combo…
These are so beautiful! And they look delicious too!
So awesome! I used to always make these before dairy freeness!! They were always such a huge hit at parties. I also made a balsamic reduction and drizzeled it over!!!!!!!!!!
Caprese salads are one of my favorites! Love the simple flavors and how fresh it always is.
these are too pretty – i couldn’t even eat them without feeling guilty!
aren’t these the best? i made them a few weeks ago for a party, such a hit!
tomato basil mozarella appetizer
You are a good photographer. These are a great idea for parties and I’ve def run out of ideas!
So cute with the basil wrapped around the cheese! Genius!! *must try when sun comes back to Seattle*
goooooooooooooooorgeous!
OH!! Those look SO pretty and sooo refreshing! Yum!
One of my favorite salads, on skewers!
These look amazing. I want to try this soooo much.
Between the pepper bowl guacamole and these, I am convinced I need to throw a party!
That looks absolutely beautiful! I love it! I bet it’d be amazing slightly grilled. Gooooey wonderfulness.
so cute, colorful and simple!
This is similar to ones that I made last week, but yours are so much prettier!
oooh! Love these! can’t wait to try. I made Antipasto Skewers a couple of weeks ago and these would be perfect to add to the plate. Thanks!
GORGEOUS!!!!
Wow that’s so beautiful!
Mmm, I was at a few farmers markets today and there were a few places with basil. Does anything beat the scent of fresh basil? Most women love the smell of fresh flowers, but I think I’d rather have a vase of basil.
beautiful! I love anything caprese!
I can’t wait for summers and parties, these will be at every one!
