Notes
To make the recipe ahead of time, prepare the skewers in the morning, then refrigerate them in an airtight container. When ready to serve, drizzle with olive oil (and balsamic, if using) and sprinkle salt and pepper.
If you'd like to make this appetizer feed more people, use a shorter skewer (like these 4-inch skewers), and only add one of each ingredient (mozzarella, basil, tomato) when assembling them.
If you don't have enough basil leaves, you can just add two per skewer (30 total), or you can tear the leaves into small pieces and scatter them over the skewers (like I did in the photos).
