Candy Cane Caprese Board
Ingredients
- 6 Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 16 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 10 to 12 fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil, for drizzling
For serving:
- 1 French baguette, sliced and toasted
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze, optional
Instructions
- Preheat broiler. Drizzle a large baking sheet with olive oil. Broil tomato slices for 3-5 minutes, careful not to burn. Remove from oven.
- On a large cutting board/serving board, create candy cane shape by alternating fresh mozzarella with tomato slices. Shape a left-facing curve at the top and a straight line toward the bottom. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Add a small bowl of balsamic glaze to the board. Scatter board with toasted baguette slices.
- Before serving, drizzle candy cane with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
I sprinkled the candy cane with a little crumbly Parmesan for a snow-like effect!
