1Thread the skewers
Onto each skewer: tomato, folded basil leaf, mozzarella pearl, second folded basil leaf, tomato. Snug but not crushed — the tomato should still be round.

2Hold cold (make-ahead)
Arrange on the tray, cover, refrigerate — up to 24 hours ahead. Do NOT glaze yet: the glaze weeps and runs if it sits. This is the pre-session hold.

3Glaze and serve
Just before serving: a thin zigzag of balsamic glaze across the whole row, a thread of olive oil, a few flakes of sea salt. Serve within the hour.
