Ingredient List

  • 1 tablespoon of flaky sea salt

Step By Step Recipe For Caprese Tomato

For starters, it’s quite an easy recipe to follow. You can make it at home with a few ingredients. It’s a hit in the summer. So, let’s get started- 

Step 1 of 5: Make The Balsamic Glaze

Pour 2 cups of balsamic vinegar into a small pot or saucepan. Turn the heat on. Wait until the vinegar boils over medium heat. 

Once the vinegar has boiled, reduce the heat and let it simmer over medium-low heat. The vinegar will slowly thicken and reduce to ½ cup over 20 minutes of cooking. 

Now remove the heat and allow the glaze to cool down. It’ll take 15 minutes, so start preparing the marinade and tomatoes while it rests.

Step 2: Mix And Marinate 

In a small bowl, pour olive oil. Then add Italian seasoning, salt, and cheese. Slice the mozzarella cheese into small rounds before adding it.

Grind the black pepper and season to taste it. Stir and let it sit to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Cut The Tomatoes 

Thinly slice each tomato diagonally. But do not cut through to the bottom. The tomatoes should look like an accordion. It won’t be cut into pieces.

FAQs 

Should I Add Sugar to Balsamic Glaze? 

You can add sugar to balsamic vinegar if you want. But only if you want to sweeten your glaze. You can add brown sugar.

How Long Will It Take to Make the Balsamic Glaze if I Add Sugar?

It’ll take 8-10 minutes to cook the glaze when sugar is added.

Will the Glaze be Ready Once I Remove It from the Heat? 

I’d suggest being careful about removing the heat in time. Because the glaze will continue to thicken even when it cools down. 

Cut into your Hasselback tomato and relish its taste! Trust me, you’re in for a treat.
