Fried Caprese Ingredients
Method
Fried Caprese Directions
Prepare the Green Tomatoes
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Season with salt and black pepper.
Fry the Tomatoes
In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded tomato slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Fry the Mozzarella
Cut the fresh mozzarella into thick slices. Repeat the breading process as done for the tomatoes. Fry in the same oil until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Fried Caprese
On a serving plate, layer the fried green tomatoes, followed by the fried mozzarella. Drizzle with pesto sauce and balsamic glaze. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
