Mini-Caprese Sandwiches
Description
The classic Caprese salad is transformed into an appetizer packed with flavor. Simple to make.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Rosemary Focaccia Bread
- 5 whole Plum Tomatoes, Ripe
- 1 pound Fresh Mozzarella, Sliced And Quartered
- 2 bunches Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1 jar (about 7 Oz. Jar) Pesto Or Homemade
- Toothpicks, To Secure Sandwiches
Preparation
To start, I made one loaf of focaccia but I used a rectangular stone instead of a round one. You can use store-bought as well.
Slice the bread into strips about 2 inches wide. Cut these into 2-inch squares.
Slice each square open as if to fillet the square.
Layer the inside of the bread with a bit of pesto sauce, a slice of fresh plum tomato , a slice of fresh mozzarella, and a fresh basil leaf.
Secure each sandwich with a toothpick.
Serve on a platter and use a few fresh basil leaves for garnish.
