Tomato Mozzarella Pesto Bites 

INGREDIENTS

1 package pre-sliced English muffins 

12 slices of mozzarella cheese 

1 cup of prepared pesto 

2-3 large tomatoes 

fresh or dried basil 

3 tbsp balsamic vinegar 

Salt and pepper

Prep

If you have square slices of mozzarella, use a glass or round cookie cutter that is approximately the same diameter (or slightly smaller) as the English muffin. 

Press each slice of cheese into a circle shape (save the extra cheese for another recipe).

INSTRUCTIONS

Separate English muffins and lay them cut side open on a wax paper covered sheet pan.

Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste. 

 Garnish with basil.

Variation: To take it up a notch you can place the muffins with pesto and cheese into the broiler for 1 minute to make them nice and toasty before adding the additional ingredients.
