- 1/2 tsp Sea salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper (or to taste)
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic glaze (or added to taste (optional))
Steps

Start by layering slices of tomatoes on a serving platter. Tuck slices of cheese between each tomato so both are visible then tuck whole basil leaves between the cheese and tomatoes. Arrange the slices so you can see every layer.
