12 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced ¼ inch thick

⅓ cup fresh basil leaves

2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Steps

Start by layering slices of tomatoes on a serving platter. Then tuck sliced peaches between the two tomato slices.

Tuck slices of mozzarella cheese between each tomato and peach slices.

Tuck whole basil leaves between the cheese and tomato or peach layer.

Arrange the slices so you can see every layer. Alternating the tomato, peach, cheese and basil slices creates a beautiful visual.
