Best Snack Ever!

Now that our garden has been planted, I cannot wait for everything to begin producing.  The one thing that grows pretty quickly for us is the basil plant (we have two so far this year).  It is much cheaper to buy a plant than it is to buy a pack of basil leaves from the grocery store!  Anyways, we first had this snack at someone else's house about 3 - 4 years ago and it is, by far, our favorite summertime snack (when we have fresh basil leaves available from our plants).

The best thing about it is that the "recipe", if you will, is simply to stack everything on a cracker.

What you'll need:
Roma Tomatoes (regular tomatoes work too, but we are finicky eaters and don't like regular tomatoes)
Fresh Mozzerella
Fresh Basil Leaves
Triscuits

1. Place as many Triscuits on a plate as you want snacks (or as many as fill the plate if you are me lol).
2. Cut your tomato into fairly thin slices (you need one slice for each Triscuit if you are using a Roma Tomato, or half a slice for each Triscuit if you are using a regular tomato) and place them on the Triscuits.
3. Cut the mozerella into slices about the size of the crackers and place on top of the tomatoes.
4. Pick enough basil leaves from your plant, rinse, and then place each leaf on top of the mozerella slices (if the leaves are really big, tear them in half instead).

Here's the final product:

Enjoy! :)


Oh, and if you have leftover mozzerella, you can try this recipe (I plan to at some point this week, just haven't yet) :   Baked Mozzerella

Did you try it? How was it? Anyone have another recipe that calls for basil or mozzerella? Please share! :)
