I'm trying to stay vegan, so I replaced the butter with some olive oil on the bread and replaced the mozzarella with avocado. Also grilled the tomatoes and added a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Delish!

Really an excellent summer weeknight dinner. But we added a bit of balsamic vinegar as well. The mint was a lovely touch!

Nice twist on caprese salad. I am looking forward to late summer when ripe, juicy fruit is available.

This was really good. I left out the butter as well, since the brioche itself is buttery. I agree with the previous reviewer that fresh ricotta would be a good substitute. I kept mine vegetarian, but my husband added prosciutto to his and left out the additional salt. Overall, a very good open faced sandwich.

If you use really good fresh whole milk mozzarella then you don't need any butter. You can also use fresh ricotta for this recipe. Equally awesome!
