Stuffed Caprese Tomatoes
A great #appetizer recipe for a romantic night in. Try these easy to make Stuffed Caprese Tomatoes. Delicious and low carb
Valentine’s day is tomorrow and I wanted to give you a romantic appetizer option if you are dining at home. These Stuffed Caprese Tomatoes are red, easy, and tasty enough to be found at your nearest Italian restaurant. They are also figure friendly, as long as you don’t eat them all yourself.
There is something to be said for the simplicity and gourmet taste of fresh ingredients. I just stopped by the store and picked up these small tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and I was going to get some fresh basil but they were all out. I started to panic a little, but hiccups happen in everyone’s lives. I just used some basil from my spice cabinet. While it isn’t quite as fancy as I had hoped the taste is out of this world. Surprise your Valentine tomorrow with this great appetizer!
