Ingredients
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 tsp sea salt

Instructions
Slice the fresh mozzarella and ripe tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. You should have approximately 8 slices each.
Pick the fresh rosemary leaves off the stems and chop them finely. Set aside.
On a serving plate, begin layering your stacks. Start with one tomato slice at the bottom, followed by a slice of mozzarella, and then a single basil leaf. Repeat this process for a second layer, ending with a mozzarella slice on top.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the stacks.
Sprinkle the stacks with the chopped rosemary, sea salt, and cracked black pepper for seasoning.
Garnish each stack with a small rosemary sprig for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately as a refreshing, simple appetizer or side dish.
