Main Ingredients

1-2 large tomatoes sliced into medium thin slices (about 8)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced into medium thin slices (about 8)
1 large handful fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the mozzarella and tomato into about ¼ inch (or thicker if you like) thick slices. If the tomatoes are extra juicy, sprinkle them with a little salt before adding to a plate.
Grab a large plate and alternately add tomato and mozzarella slices, slightly overlapping. Drizzle a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on top. Sprinkle basil over the top, or tuck smaller leaves throughout. Garnish with fresh cracked sea salt and pepper.
