Two slices from my favorite Italian bread or French baguette smothered with extra virgin olive oil with a slice of fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil sandwiched within, made slightly crisp on a pan  - just enough for the mozzarella to melt and start oozing. Yum is all I can say.

Caprese Pizza Dip!
