Caprese Tea Sandwiches
Serves: 8
 
Ingredients
  • 8 slices firm white sandwich bread, frozen
  • 4 thin slices deli-style part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • Golden Balsamic-Basil Aïoli (recipe follows)
  • 8 thin slices Campari tomato, blotted dry
  • Garnish: fresh basil leaves
Instructions
  1. Using a 1½-inch fluted round cutter, cut 16 rounds from frozen bread slices, discarding scraps. Cover with damp paper towels, or store in a resealable plastic bag.
  2. Using the same cutter, cut 8 rounds from cheese slices.
  3. Spread a layer of Golden Balsamic– Basil Aïoli onto bread rounds. Place a cheese round onto aïoli side of 8 bread rounds. Top each cheese round with a tomato slice. Cover each with a remaining bread round, aïoli side down.
  4. Cover with damp paper towels, and let bread thaw completely (approximately 30 minutes) before serving, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate for a few hours until serving time.
  5. Just before serving, garnish each with a fresh basil leaf, if desired.
