Time 30m

Yield 8 to 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 loaf baguette, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 30 to 36 slices)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 1/4 pounds fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 bunch fresh basil leaves, stemmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Arrange the sliced baguette bread on a baking sheet. Brush with some of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the bread is pale golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Top each slice of bread with a slice of tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each slice of tomato with a slice of mozzarella and sprinkle with salt. Return the baking sheet to the oven until the cheese and tomato are warmed, about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the toasts on a serving platter. Top each toast with a basil leaf. Using the brush, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the basil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

I followed the recipe but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. Maybe I need to practice more.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and oregano to give it more flavor.

The baked Caprese salad was a bit too oily for my taste.

I made this salad for my family and they loved it. It's a great way to use up fresh tomatoes from the garden.

I love how the balsamic glaze caramelizes in the oven.

I've never been a fan of Caprese salad, but this baked version changed my mind. The roasted tomatoes and melted cheese were amazing together.
