Heirloom Tomato Caprese Stack

Lindsay Forbes
Enjoy the season's best tomatoes in a caprese stack!
Prep Time 10 mins
Course Appetizer
Cuisine American, Italian

Ingredients
  

  • Heirloom tomatoes, room temperature (the ones shown are "Black Beauties")
  • Burrata
  • Basil leaves (or basil vinaigrette, see notes)
  • Salt/Pepper
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Slice tomatoes, making sure to keep it in the correct order to reassemble.
  • Pat each slice with paper towels to remove some of the moisture. I find that this makes the slices less slippery and easier to stack.
  • Add salt and pepper to the tomatoes. Stack with burrata and basil leaves (or vinaigrette). You can use toothpicks to help it stay upright. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Instead of a basil leaves, you could also use this basil vinaigrette: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/basil-vinaigrette/
