1. 1Cut the tomatoes in half as straight across the diameter as you can.
2. 2Place all of the tomatoes, cut side down on the cutting board. Insert the toothpick through one half of a tomato and slide it up the toothpick. Skewer a mozzarella ball and slide it up the toothpick until it is touching the tomato.
3. 3Place one small basil leaf (or half of a large leaf) onto the skewer. Then with the tomato resting on the cutting board, cut side down, insert the toothpick as straight as possible into the tomato so that the tomato makes a base for the remainder of the toothpick.
4. 4Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. 5Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
6. 6Serve cold.
