BAKED CAPRESE SALAD

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 12 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 loaf baguette, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 30 to 36 slices)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 1/4 pounds fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 bunch fresh basil leaves, stemmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Arrange the sliced baguette bread on a baking sheet. Brush with some of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the bread is pale golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Top each slice of bread with a slice of tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each slice of tomato with a slice of mozzarella and sprinkle with salt. Return the baking sheet to the oven until the cheese and tomato are warmed, about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the toasts on a serving platter. Top each toast with a basil leaf. Using the brush, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the basil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Choose a good quality goat cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy and has a mild flavor.
  • Slice the tomatoes and cucumbers evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the oven.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking properly.
  • Keep an eye on the vegetables while they are baking. You want them to be tender but not overcooked.
  • Let the vegetables cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Baked goat cheese caprese salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The creamy goat cheese, roasted tomatoes, and cucumbers are a perfect combination of flavors and textures. This salad is also a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge.
