What a great appetizer, and sooo easy to make! Farm fresh, in-season tomatoes work best, but any good greenhouse tomato would work well also. I have given quantities as it depends on how many you want to make.
Tomato Caprese
2 large tomatoes
fresh mozzarella
basil leaves
extra virgin olive oil
dab of really good balsamic vinegar
Slice tomatoes almost all the way but not quite. Slice mozzarella in thin slices. Place a basil leaf on top of a mozzarella slice and place in the slice of the tomato.
Drizzle with olive oil and a little balsamic.
