Caprese grilled cheese ingredients

Caprese must be one of the best flavor combinations.  Whether served in salad, skewer, tower, sandwich, or pizza form, I love the freshness of tomato and basil combined with the creamy mildness or mozzarella.

While debating between what to serve with my creamy basil tomato soup (traditional grilled cheese? herbed ricotta spread on crostini? Parmesan croutons?) I realized I couldn’t turn down the chance to try something new.

I’m so glad I did because these turned out beautifully.  So delicious and cute.  Their size makes them perfect for snacking and dunking.  Three per person is probably enough but they were so good we each ate four.

Serve on the side of freshly made tomato soup, with a light salad, or on their own as a snack.
