Made with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, mozzarella cheese, fresh chopped garlic, fresh basil, salt & pepper, ciabatta bread, and drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.
I absolutely LOVE this baked panzanella caprese. I just love the combination of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a good vinegar. Oh, dear, just look at the CHEESE!
Anything with cheese is fine by me. I love buying a big fat mozzarella ball and cutting it into big chunks as I eat it along the way.
I used ciabatta bread for this recipe and sliced it to fit. This is SO simple to make and I make it every chance I get. It’s such a good snack food. I can eat at least half this pan straight up—which leaves little left for guests.
Recipe for—Baked Panzanella Caprese
So, if you have nothing else to do today, you should definitely make this panzanella caprese and maybe find only one other person to share it with.
Take-Away Life Lesson: This is best eaten straight from the oven while it’s good, hot, and crispy. You could microwave leftovers the next day, but it’s just not the same.
That looks delicious! Definitely a must try with the heirloom tomatoes I just picked up!
Fresh tomatoes are the best!
Yum!
What a great idea.
Thanks.
looks yummy to me…it has cheese so it’s got to be good! : )
Of course! Cheese does it every time.
I think I’ll try this one out later in the week- it looks delish!
Yes, girl.
Yum! That sounds so good. One of these days I am going to try making my own mozzarella but until then, back to the store I go to pick some up. I have to try this recipe! 🙂
Post your mozzarella-making when you do it. Should be interesting.
Will do! I’ve never even attempted it before, but have been doing a lot of reading on it. I’m both excited and scared at the same time, lol!
No worries. It’s a learning experience. Just make sure not to have guests over your first time making it. What a disaster that could be if it doesn’t come out! Lol.
Oh I don’t even want to think about it, lol! I will definitely be making it for just the family on the first few attempts. 🙂
