Pre - Prepared Items for even Faster Serving Times
You can shred the cheese and slice the tomatoes up to
4 hours ahead. |
Money Savers
Though smoked mozzarella gives this appetizer a
distinct flavor, you can save money by using plain mozzarella. For even
more savings, use drained and thinly sliced canned tomatoes. |
Serving Variation
For a fragrant and tasty addition, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon
dried oregano or basil over the sliced tomato. |
