Peter's Caprese Tea Sandwiches image

Caprese salad, that ubiquitous arrangement of fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes and basil leaves, is the "it" dish for all the Hamptons "it" girls. Served in a mini pita, it makes a beautiful, fresh and simple bite, which one client said "tastes like July." Baby heirloom tomatoes offer a sweet, juicy flavor that works well with extra-luscious buffalo mozzarella and good-quality extra-virgin olive oil.

Time 20m

Yield 24 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

Twelve 2- to 3-inch mini pitas
2 ounces fresh salted mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 pint grape tomatoes or baby heirloom tomatoes, halved (about 1 cup)
3/4 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, stacked, rolled and thinly sliced crosswise into ribbons (or 1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Divide the pitas in half so you have 24 half-moon pockets.
  • Stuff each pocket with 3 to 4 pieces of mozzarella and set aside.
  • Place the tomatoes in a small bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Add the salt and toss to combine.
  • Add some tomatoes to each pita pocket, and finish with a little basil and ground pepper. Serve immediately.
