Many women all over the world have been where I found myself a few weeks ago. It was on my way home from work that an impromptu plan was made. Some friends decided to come for dinner. Fortunately they agreed to go halfsies on take out. That still left some appetisers to create.
When in doubt stick to the simple and easy - it usually is the best tasting too. Here's one of my versions of a quick, easy and delicious Caprese.

Take a shallow glass bowl and sprinkle lightly with olive oil.
Layer with chopped tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, salt & pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Repeat the layering.
Final garnish with the basil & microwave or bake in the oven till the cheese has melted.

Left overs make super sandwiches - open or closed.
That's all there is to it.. if you make it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.. Please write and tell me, I would love to hear from fellow foodies.
