Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Mini slider buns
- 6 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 12 pieces Cherry or grape tomatoes
- 12 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the mini slider buns in half horizontally and set aside.
Cut the fresh mozzarella into 12 thin slices, ensuring each piece fits nicely on the buns.
Slice the cherry or grape tomatoes in half to create 12 even pieces.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the cut sides of the buns.
On the bottom half of each bun, assemble the sandwiches: layer one slice of mozzarella, one basil leaf, and one tomato half (cut-side facing down).
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a small amount of black pepper over each assembly for added seasoning.
Drizzle a small amount (about 1/4 teaspoon each) of balsamic glaze over the tomato and mozzarella in each sandwich for a tangy finish.
Cap each sandwich with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. For best flavor, serve at room temperature.
