How to make Toasted Caprese Rolls Recipe - These warm, toasty rolls layered with mozzarella, basil, and fresh tomatoes are the perfect start to any Italian meal. Warm fresh mozzarella cheese oozes with each bite, while the balsamic vinegar adds the perfect punch of flavor. I like to have the boys add the basil leaves and tomato slices to get them involved. If you are looking for a light dinner, serve the rolls with a simple salad, and dinner is ready.
Ingredients:
9 slices fresh mozzarella (1⁄8 inch thick)
18 fresh basil leaves
9 slices fresh tomatoes (1⁄8 inch thick)
9 soft dinner rolls, split
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) unsalted butter
1⁄4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Layer 1 mozzarella slice, 2 basil leaves, and 1 tomato slice on the bottom half of each split roll. Season the tomatoes with a pinch of the salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and vinegar to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Drizzle evenly over the tomatoes. Close the rolls and arrange in the prepared baking dish.
3. Add the butter and Italian seasoning to a small saucepan over medium-low heat to melt, stirring to combine. With a pastry brush, spread the melted butter over the tops of the rolls. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops of rolls are golden and toasted.
