Preparation

Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and dry all the ingredients. Allow creamy cheeses to come to room temperature.
Skewer the Ingredients: Start adding the ingredients on a skewer in any order. A common order is cherry tomato, Bocconcini cheese, olive, prosciutto, and grape.
Repeat for All Skewers: Continue this process until all skewers are assembled.
Arrange on a Plate: Lay the skewers out in a circular fashion on a platter.
Add Rosemary: Place sprigs of rosemary in between each skewer.
Create the Centerpiece: Add your choice of toppings in the middle, such as fresh raspberries or extra olives.
Finish Your Wreath: Right before serving, sprinkle salt over the tomatoes and Bocconcini, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Enjoy: Invite guests to enjoy your culinary creation.
