Ingredients

Fresh Mozzarella (either a log or a ball will work)

Fresh basil

Fresh chives

Truffle oil (black or white will work)

Baguette (French bread will work, too)

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Use a bread knife to slice the bread into 1/2-inch slices and set aside. Slice enough mozzarella slices for each slice of bread. Finely chop the basil and chives. Layer each slice of bread with a slice of mozzarella and then drizzle with the truffle oil. Sprinkle a mixture of the chopped herbs on top of the oiled cheese (the oil helps the herbs stick). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

The amount of oil you use is optional, however, I like to use enough oil that it runs off the cheese and down the bread. The underside of the bread will soak up the oil.

These can sit for a while before serving and will taste that much better.
