Ingredients
3 large multi-colored heirloom tomatoes, washed and dried
1 lb (water packed) fresh mozzarella cheese, (or mozzarella di bufala if you're lucky)
1 1/4 cups fresh basil leaves, washed and dried and divided
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into 1/2 inch thick slices. Generously season with salt on both sides. Taste a tiny bit of mozzarella to see if it needs salt (salt can vary on fresh mozzarella). Season if need be. Arrange the tomatoes and mozzarella in a concentric pattern, overlapping and layering each. Tuck the basil leaves in between the layers. Drizzle with the basil oil and season again with salt and pepper.
The freshest mozzarella and most beautiful sun ripened tomatoes along with a hearty helping of salt are the keys to this simple recipe.
