Mini Cheesy Caprese Sandwich

January 17, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a fun recipe for you!  It’s perfect for snacking, an appetizer at a dinner party or munching on during the big football game.  This is my Mini Cheesy Caprese Sandwich!  I hope you like cheese, because this is one cheesy little sandwich! Why? Because I skipped the bread and used cheese as my sandwich!  I know your thinking, no bread, but cheese in place of bread?  She fell off her rocker.  But wait, just look!  How cute are these?
Mini Cheesy Caprese Sandwich
As you know from my past recipes, I LOVE basil, tomato and mozzarella together. It’s one of my favorite combinations. I eat it all of the time. These little sandwiches are rich in cheese flavor, creamy, has a perfect little hint of basil and the tomato adds a nice little pop of flavor and color. But I couldn’t stop there and I had to drizzle a little balsamic glaze and then topped the little sandwich with just a pinch of olive oil. It is just perfect in my mind!  I could very possibly eat a whole tray of them.

I made these little sandwiches using Mini Babybel Mozzarella Style Cheese. Have you Guys tried Mini Babybel’s? These are the perfect little treat. I love that they come portion control, full of calcium and protein, all natural ingredients and the Mozzarella Style is only 50 calories. Perfect, guilt-free snack. Each one of these Mini Cheesy Caprese Sandwich has under 60 calories each. Plus they are really filling.  But as I said above, I could still probably eat a full tray of them.  But don’t tell anyone.

Mini Babybel Cheese’s are made by The Laughing Cow. I have always been a huge fan of their cheese wedges. My favorite is Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle Wedge. I love making a grilled cheese sandwich with it or dipping my pretzels in it.  Yum!!  But I have to save the new Mini Babybels have won my heart!! They come in 8 flavors.  The Mozzarella and White Cheddar are my favorite!!!

Mini Cheesy Caprese Sandwich
Not speaking about Mini Babybel Cheese in general, but cheese makes for a wonderful afternoon snack. The protein will fill you up till dinner and paired with turkey or an apple makes a SUPERFOOD combo and a perfect pre or post workout snack. You can’t go wrong with cheese! Just moderation of course, that’s why I like the portion control size!

Mini Cheesy Caprese Sandwich
I really enjoyed making these little sandwiches and I think they will be a big hit at my next party.  I am so glad that I got to try Mini Babybels.  I have to say they are my new found snack that I love!  I have been dicing them up and adding them to my salads at lunch!  I can’t wait to experiment with more recipes.

Have a great weekend everyone!  I am kind of looking forward to the big Football game Sunday!  I’m a little terrified of the San Francisco and Seattle game.  I hope the 49r’s win!!  They better!  And as for Denver against New England, I am hoping for Denver!  Denver Broncos are my favorite team for some reason, no idea why?  But I have always been a fan!


Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
