CAPRESE CROSTINI (CANAPES)

Steps:

• Slice bread and brush both sides lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Bake 5 minutes at 350˚F to lightly toast it (toasting the bread keeps the bread from getting moist from the cheese).
• Top with a slice of mozzarella and a slice of tomato. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper and bake at 350˚F for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• A few minutes before the crostini are finished baking, in a small ramekin, mix together 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil until well combined. Toss in the sliced fresh basil and stir gently. Top each crostini with the marinated basil.

CAPRESE ON TOAST

Steps:

• Toast bread slices and rub one side of each slice with garlic. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese, 1 to 2 basil leaves, and a slice of tomato on each piece of toast. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

CAPRESE WITH OLIVES ON GARLIC TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and while still hot, rub the seasoned side of the toasts with the crushed clove of garlic. Reserve the toasts while you make the Caprese with Olives.
• In a bowl combine the diced mozzarella, tomatoes with the chopped basil and olives. Drizzle with a generous amount of extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange a mound of the Caprese with Olives on top of each garlic toast.
• Cook's Note: make easy work of dicing the cheese by placing the mozzarella in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before dicing; the firmer the cheese, the easier it is to dice.

CAPRESE AVOCADO TOAST

Steps:

• Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, place the bread in the skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.

• In a small bowl, smash the avocado with the lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, red pepper flakes and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Divide the avocado mix between the 2 slices of toasted bread and place on 2 small plates.
• Give the tomato mixture one last toss. Top each toast with a generous portion of the tomato and mozzarella. Top each with sea salt flakes, balsamic glaze and edible flowers.
