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

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.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
