Also known as an Insalata Caprese or a appetizer salad
that is in the style of Capri. (an island off of Italy)
A heartier way to have a caprese salad in the form of brunch
or lunch is on toast.
Take some of your favorite crusty bread and cut it into slices.
If you can- toast or warm the bread so it's a little softer and simply warm.
Mix your combo of ripe tomatoes fresh mozzarella cheese and basil
cut in chiffonade (long strips) in a bowl and add a sprinkle of salt
and drizzle a little olive oil. (about 2 TBSP)
While the caprese contents are marinating in your bowl--
take your ripe avocado and mash it up with a fork or a potato masher.
The only thing you have to actually cook is an egg.
A poached or egg cooked over easy is best so that
the egg yolk drizzles onto your toast.
To dress your slice of bread-
take your butter knife and smother your bread with the mashed avocado-
then add the egg on top of the avocado and top with the caprese salad.
