We love the flavors that the combination of tomato, mozzarella, and basil have to offer. These ingredients are no-fail trio, and work in a variety of settings and dishes. Instead of doing a traditional bruschetta, try some garden fresh grape tomatoes and half them with a equally-sized piece of mozzarella! Equally as tasty, a panini sandwich with an optional eggplant slice is a sophisticated sandwich that can be served at any occasion. You can even go the simplest route, and slice tomatoes and mozzarella, and put on a platter for a great appetizer. To make this simple dish look elegant, top with ribbons of fresh basil and use both red and golden tomatoes.
