Equipment

Ingredients

2 vine tomatoes 11 thin slices
10 slices bocconcini cheese 200 grams
10 basil leaves or mint
2 slices Provolone cheese
1 pinch salt to taste
1 drizzle olive oil to taste
1 drizzle balsamic glaze to taste

Instructions

Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut each tomato into 5-6 thin slices. Set aside.
Cut the bocconcini (or fresh mozzarella) into slices as well.
Arrange the tomatoes and bocconcini cheese making sure they overlap each other and form a heart.
Add basil (or mint) leaves on top for presentation.
Now, take the cheese and place one slice on top of the other. Cut out mini heart shapes out of the cheese. You should have 12 mini hearts.
Arrange the hearts on top just like my picture shows.
Add a pinch of salt on the tomatoes and bocconcini followed by a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
