HEPP'S Caprese On a Stick

January 28, 2015

There is nothing better and more refreshing than fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil combined together and topped with a little of the best balsamic and sea salt.  These are bite size and no mess.  A perfect appetizer and crowd pleaser for any party. Serves a party size of  8-10 Ingredients:

• 20 Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 container of Fresh Mozzarella "Cherry" size
• 20 Leaves Fresh Basil
• Balsamic Reduction, we only use Gourmet Blends original
• HEPP'S Signature Flake Sea Salt
• 20 toothpicks

(We found this basil plant at our local Ralphs, now we are growing our own!) Directions:

1. Rinse tomatoes and set aside to dry.
2. Pull basil leaves from steams.
3. Drain mozzarella.
4. One by one, place a toothpick through the middle of the tomato, a leaf of basil on top (if the leaves are big you can fold them or cut them to fit), a circle of mozzarella on top of the basil, then the other tomato on top of that.
5. Drizzle a plate or platter with balsamic reduction and arrange as you wish, finish with HEPP'S Signature flake Sea Salt on top. Store them covered in the fridge.

*Alternatives:  Add HEPP'S Applewood or 7-fire smoked salt for a smoky flavor, or HEPP'S Black Lava Sea salt for beautiful color contrast.
