Scale
- 3 heirloom tomatoes
- 1 lb. fresh mozzarella
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- Flaky Sea Salt
- Coarse Black Pepper
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Parmesan Cheese, for grating
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes, sprinkle with a little salt, and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Because I prefer thinly sliced tomatoes, I layer two slices of tomatoes, followed by a slice of mozzarella, and then the basil leaves on the platter.
- Sprinkle the platter with some flaky salt, fresh cracked black pepper, a generous drizzle of good-quality olive oil, and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately at room temperature. Do not refrigerate, as cold temperatures mute the tomato flavor and wilt the basil.
