Combine tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese balls in a large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, minced basil and olive oil. Toss gently until fully combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour balsamic glaze into a small serving bowl and place it at the center of a round serving platter. Arrange large fresh basil leaves around the edges of the platter and top with tomato mixture. Top with smaller basil leaves. Place bamboo skewers among the tomatoes and mozzarella and serve with extra bamboo skewers on the side.
