Caprese Toast Recipe
Caprese toast showcases rustic bread, mild mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, delicately fruity olive oil, and the peppery bite of fresh basil.
Ingredients
- 1 medium tomato
- 125 g fresh mozzarella (drained weight)
- 4 slices sourdough bread or ciabatta
- Smoked salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar optional
- 1 teaspoon olive oil extra virgin
- few sprigs fresh basil
Instructions
- Begin by evenly slicing 1 medium tomato and 125 g fresh mozzarella.
- Add 4 slices sourdough bread to the grill or toaster, and cook until evenly golden brown. If grilling, don't take your eyes off the grill — it works fast!
- Layer two slices of mozzarella on the toasted bread, followed by two slices of tomato. Sprinkle with Smoked salt (to taste), then drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (split between the four slices). Top with a few sprigs fresh basil, either whole or torn. Eat immediately.
Notes
Don't cut the fresh basil — basil bruises easily, and it negatively affects the flavour. If you don't want to use the whole basil leaves, use your hands to tear it into small pieces.
