Oven Fried Green Tomato Caprese Recipe with Balsamic Reduction is jaw-dropping-ly good!

This classic salad combination of sliced ripe tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves gets a Southern flair with ‘fried’ green tomatoes. They’re actually baked but still have that crunch on the outside minus all the fat calories from frying!

I drizzled a balsamic reduction over this elegant salad to kick up the flavor even more.

I know me and I’d make myself a huge helping of this and have it as my meal, for a more reasonable portion stack or layer three slices of each for a tasty appetizer or side salad. It would make such a great presentation and starter when entertaining. I foresee serving it to supper club very soon!

Panko-crusted baked green tomato slices are crispy contrasting nicely with creamy, fresh mozzarella cheese.
