Nectarine and Mozzarella Appetizer Skewers

Hey friends,

You know my passion for aperitif time, that special moment of sharing with family or friends that means so much to me…

Today, I’m sharing a super simple, seasonal, and very tasty recipe perfect for your summer aperitifs.

Here are my nectarine and mozzarella appetizer skewers.

Nectarine and Mozzarella Appetizer Skewers — the perfect appetizer idea!

Aperitifs are truly the perfect occasion to gather with friends or family and share convivial moments over delicious bite-sized snacks. Among many options, appetizer skewers stand out for their ease of preparation, attractive presentation, and endless flavor combinations. Today, I offer you a tasty and refreshing recipe: nectarine, mozzarella, cured ham, and basil skewers. A perfect blend of sweetness, creaminess, saltiness, and freshness.

A balance of flavors

These nectarine, mozzarella, cured ham, and basil skewers are ideal with a glass of dry white wine or a well-chilled rosé. The juicy sweetness of the nectarine pairs perfectly with the creamy mozzarella, while the cured ham adds a salty and slightly smoky note that balances the whole. Basil brings a touch of freshness and aroma that elevates this harmonious combination.

This preparation is very easy and quick to make. Try it once and you’ll be hooked! I guarantee it!

Possible variations for this recipe

• Peach variant: If you don’t have nectarines, you can replace them with peaches. Their sweet and juicy flavor works just as well with the other ingredients.
• Cherry tomato addition: For an extra pop of color and flavor, add halved cherry tomatoes to your skewers. You can even mix different colored cherry tomatoes (red, yellow, or orange).
• Honey mustard vinaigrette: Prepare a vinaigrette with honey, mustard, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to lightly drizzle over your skewers before serving.
• Add balsamic vinegar or pomegranate molasses: For a little extra zing, don’t hesitate to add one of these ingredients — it’s delicious!
• Serve as a salad: If you prefer a different presentation, you can serve all the ingredients mixed as a salad instead of on skewers. Combine nectarine, mozzarella, cured ham, and basil pieces in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and pepper, then serve.
