- 8 ounces mozzarella, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves either whole or sliced chiffonade
- 4 Tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher, or coarse flaked sea salt to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper
Directions

1
Wash, core and slice the tomatoes about 1/4″ thick. 2. Slice mozzarella about 1/4″ thick. Layer tomatoes, basil and mozzarella on a plate. Drizzle each “stack” with olive oil. Season with kosher or sea salt, (coarse, not fine) and fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
Notes
- Use the freshest tomatoes and basil you can find.
- Avoid using low moisture mozzarella. Brine packed mozzarella is best.
