Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the ripe tomatoes and basil leaves thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the Mozzarella and Tomatoes

    Cut the fresh mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick slices. Similarly, slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a serving platter, alternate layers of mozzarella slices and tomato slices. Start with a slice of mozzarella, followed by a slice of tomato, and continue this pattern until all the ingredients are arranged.

  2. 4

    Add Basil and Seasoning

    Tuck fresh basil leaves between the layers of mozzarella and tomato. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the entire arrangement. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Drizzle the Balsamic Glaze

    Finish the dish by drizzling balsamic glaze over the top for added flavor and presentation.

Optional Serving

  1. 6

    Toast the Bread (if using)

    If you decided to use crusty bread, toast the slices until golden brown. Optionally, you can rub a garlic clove on the warm bread for added flavor.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Caprese Pomodoro on a platter alongside the toasted bread and sprinkle pine nuts over the dish if desired.
