Heirloom tomato caprese verrine
This post is the result of two facts:

1. I love Caprese salad.  It’s not a secret; I have a blog where half the recipes are about something Caprese.  What can I do? It’s a great flavor combination.

2. Verrines are all the rage in the French food blogs right now.  Food in a glass – why not? Anything I could have just put on a plate I can put in a glass and it’s automatically four times fancier.  I’d do it more often except that our kitchen’s still packed up for the remodel so I only have these glasses handy and, let’s face it, you’ve seen a lot of food in these glasses already.

Anyway, here it is: Heirloom Tomato Caprese Verrine –  as delicious as any Caprese salad but way fancier because it’s in a glass.  Snarkiness aside ,it actually was kind of fun to eat these out of the glasses.  Give it a try and impress your friends. 🙂

      Haha! I’m with you – this salad is kind of screaming for a big, crusty hunk of bread, huh? I guess we just have to spoon it out 🙂
