Tomato Mozzarella Pesto Bites
INGREDIENTS
1 package pre-sliced English muffins
12 slices of mozzarella cheese
1 cup of prepared pesto
2-3 large tomatoes
fresh or dried basil
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Prep
If you have square slices of mozzarella, use a glass or round cookie cutter that is approximately the same diameter (or slightly smaller) as the English muffin.
Press each slice of cheese into a circle shape (save the extra cheese for another recipe).
INSTRUCTIONS
Separate English muffins and lay them cut side open on a wax paper covered sheet pan.
Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with basil.
Variation: To take it up a notch you can place the muffins with pesto and cheese into the broiler for 1 minute to make them nice and toasty before adding the additional ingredients.
