Overall a great recipe, but I would recommend using smaller tomatoes so they fit better on the skewers.

I found the skewers to be a bit too oily. Maybe I used too much olive oil.

Would've been helpful if the recipe included instructions on how to make the balsamic glaze from scratch.

The skewers were a bit bland for my taste, even with the balsamic glaze. Maybe I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.

I used different kinds of cheese and they all tasted great. Next time I'll try adding some roasted vegetables.
