Caprese Salad Cracker Stacks with Balsamic
Fresh Caprese salad cracker stacks with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and balsamic glaze. Easy and elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
- 24 sturdy round crackers
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes sliced
- 24 small fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Arrange crackers in a single layer on a serving platter. Place a slice of fresh mozzarella on each cracker. Top with a tomato slice and a small basil leaf. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Finish with a small drizzle of balsamic glaze over each stack. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
Notes
Assemble just before serving to prevent crackers from softening. Use ripe tomatoes and high-quality mozzarella for best flavor. Store components separately in the refrigerator if prepping ahead.
