# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in the time it takes to brew coffee, yet somehow impress everyone in the room.
  • No cooking means you stay cool and calm instead of stressed in a hot kitchen before an event.
  • The combination of creamy, fresh, and tangy tastes like a restaurant made it, but your hands made it.
02 -
  • Pat your tomatoes and basil completely dry or the moisture will make everything slip and slide, and the oil will sit on top instead of coating properly.
  • Don't assemble these more than a few hours ahead because the tomatoes will start weeping liquid that makes the mozzarella slippery and the basil wilts slightly.
03 -
  • Buy your skewers a day early and let any splinters soften in water, then pat them dry so they feel smooth to your guests' hands.
  • The most stunning platters happen when you take an extra thirty seconds to arrange each skewer with its prettiest side facing up, because people eat with their eyes first.
