Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 16-ounce log uncut fresh mozzarella
2 tablespoons store-bought balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling grill grates
2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch-thick
12 fresh basil leaves
Sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to high.
  • Combine the dried Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, salt and pepper on a plate. Brush the entire log of mozzarella with about a tablespoon of balsamic glaze, then roll in the dry spices. Place the cheese in the freezer to set up, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Oil the grill grates, then place the log of mozzarella on the grill to char quickly, about 2 minutes. Roll a quarter-turn and repeat until all sides are charred but not gooey, 2 minutes per side. Let it cool for a minute, then slice into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a platter. Top the tomatoes with the sliced charred mozzarella, torn fresh basil, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
