Caprese Bites – A healthier appetizer or snack!
Caprese. Such a fancy word. I always lick my chops though when I see “caprese” recipes on Pinterest. Mozzarella, tomato, and basil. YUM! I didn’t know though, that this recipe was made to resemble the Italian flag (red, green and white), did you?
I’m all about easy recipes and I love appetizers – especially during “game day” season! I really love that this is a healthier appetizer. Although chunks of cheese are involved, it’s still not laden with grease and meat and cheese. Ohh, shoot. I forgot it is laden with cheese. Oh well. Carry on! These caprese bites are seriously so good you guys, I could not stop eating them! Sigh.
Ingredients:
- fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed
- fresh basil leaves
- cherry tomatoes
- toasted baguette, sliced
- balsamic vinaigrette or vinegar (whichever you like)
- toothpicks
Directions:
- Use day old crusty bread, if you have some on hand. Otherwise, toast a french baguette or something similar and slice. Then cut each slice in half or in 1/4 so they’re actually “bite size”.
- Fold a basil leaf and place on top of the bread.
- Then add a chunk of fresh mozzarella (big enough to sit nicely on the leaf/bread).
- Add a cherry tomato on top.
- Skewer a wooden toothpick through to hold together.
- Drizzle a bit with some balsamic vinegar.
- Then INHALE these babies!!
