Double Decker Caprese

Posted on by Jennie

We have a basil plant on our front porch, and ever since Jeff’s green thumb came out, it’s been quite literally taking over, and so I have more basil than I know what to do with!

So last week, after a Costco run left us with tons of mozzarella, I decided a caprese was in order.

Look at this tomato. Though tomatoes and I have had a love-hate relationship lately, I think that this season we may fall deeply, deeply in love.

Slice up your tomato. Eat any that look a little wonky. It’s your duty.

Look at that beautiful, fresh mozzarella. I couldn’t wait to pair it off with tomato and basil and gobble it up.

Layer your tomato, cheese, and basil. Put it on a funny plate if you have one. (Aren’t these so funny?)

Add a second layer. I promise, this’ll make it better.

And add some balsamic vinegar, for kicks.

Cut it in half, if you’re a lady like me and want to keep from shoving the whole thing in your mouth in the kitchen hoping no one walks in, which is most certainly not what I did. Nope!

Go make this today for an appetizer, or dinner, or breakfast, or snack, or dessert, if you must. Just do it.
