A delicious side dish or appetizer this filled Caprese baguette. With fresh tomatoes, Mozzarella and basil and then baked in the oven. A quick recipe.
What I really do like in summer is a Caprese salad. We eat it often when the weather is warm on a baguette , lunch or as an accompaniment to the barbecue. But what I like better for spring , autumn or winter is to use this salad as a base for a nice filled baguette.
Delicious on Sunday afternoon when relaxing, but also great to eat with a soup or when you're having a cocktail party. Use enough salt and pepper as seasoning, because the Mozzarella and tomatoes that you use could use a little pizzazz.
