Baked Caprese Bites

Golden puff pastry cups hold melted mozzarella and roasted cherry tomatoes that burst with warm juice. The cheese browns at the edges while staying creamy in the center, making each bite worth the minimal prep time.

These vegan Caprese sliders are a delightful twist on the classic dish. They are perfect for parties or as a tasty snack!

Ingredients: 8 small slider buns. 8 slices of vegan mozzarella cheese. 8 slices of tomato. 8 fresh basil leaves. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C. Slice the slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Layer each bottom bun with a slice of vegan mozzarella cheese, followed by a slice of tomato and a fresh basil leaf. Place the top half of each bun on top. In a small bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet around the sliders. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are slightly toasted. Remove from the oven and drizzle the sliders with balsamic glaze. Serve hot and enjoy!
