Equipment
- Knives
- Cutting Board
- Platter
Ingredients
- 16 oz Fresh Mozzarella Presliced
- 4 large Tomatoes Roma or Beefsteak
- ½ cup Fresh basil
- Olive oil For drizzling
- Balsamic glaze For drizzling
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes into slices that are equal to the slices of the mozzarella. Starting at the bottom of the candy cane, layer tomato and mozzarella slices. Scatter basil leaves around and throughout the candy cane. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Notes
- Try to get the tomatoes to be the same size as the mozzarella. This will make a uniform candy cane and make it look really good!
- Use a good quality olive oil in this recipe. That's because we won't be cooking the olive oil, it will be eaten raw so it should be really good quality. Same with the balsamic drizzle.
