Ingredients
- 4 large heirloom tomatoes
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 handful microgreens or basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by infusing the olive oil: In a small saucepan, gently heat the olive oil over low heat (do not let it smoke). Add the tarragon leaves and allow them to steep in the oil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 2
2. While the oil cools, slice the heirloom tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Do the same with the fresh mozzarella, ensuring the slices are similar in size to the tomato rounds.
Step 3
3. On a serving platter, begin stacking: start with a slice of tomato, then a slice of mozzarella, and repeat until you have 2-3 layers per stack. Aim for roughly 2 stacks per serving.
Step 4
4. Drizzle the cooled tarragon-infused oil over each tomato-mozzarella stack, ensuring even coverage. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness.
Step 5
5. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the stacks to taste.
Step 6
6. Garnish with microgreens or small basil leaves for an extra touch of freshness, if desired.
Step 7
7. Serve immediately as a stunning appetizer, side dish, or light lunch.
