Method
Assemble
- Use ripe tomatoes and cheese at cool room temperature for the best flavour (about 20 minutes out of the fridge).
- Slice tomato and cheese into similar thickness. Arrange alternating slices on a platter; tuck in basil leaves.
- Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately — do not dress far ahead or the tomato weeps.
Serving
