I wanted to make an entree based on Caprese salad ingredients: bocconcini cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil. This recipe turned out so easy and delicious, I put the dish together in 5 minutes, and then bake it for 40 minutes. It's easy to adjust the recipe for any number of servings and received rave reviews from my guests.
