Directions
Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.
Slice the Tomatoes
Wash the ripe tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices, similar in thickness to the mozzarella slices. Arrange them on a serving plate.
Layer the Caprese
On the serving plate, alternate layers of mozzarella and tomato slices. Start with a slice of tomato, then a slice of mozzarella, and continue until all slices are used.
Add Fresh Basil
Tuck fresh basil leaves between the layers of mozzarella and tomatoes, or sprinkle them on top for added flavor.
Drizzle with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the layered mozzarella and tomatoes evenly.
Season
Sprinkle salt and black pepper (if desired) over the entire dish to enhance the flavors.
Serve
Serve the house-made mozzarella caprese immediately as a fresh appetizer or side dish.
