Oh yes, this is another fried recipe and another caprese salad recipe combined into one, fried caprese salad. I wanted something fried and greasy but I also wanted to feel like I was attempting to be healthy. :/ So I made caprese salad and fried it. It was pretty good and satisfied my cravings but it’s not something I would make very often, just when I’m feeling the need for healthy and fattening at the same time. Does that make sense to anyone but me?

Ingredients:

• tomato slices
• mozzarella slices

Directions:

1. In a small skillet, heat up about a tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat.
2.  Stack the basil then mozzarella on top of a tomato slice.

5.  Place in heated skillet, fry until bottom side is a golden to dark brown and flip to other side and fry.

7. Enjoy!
