Review: LOVED. Great little breakfast bites and I loved that you got 3. The caprese taste really came through - definitely use fresh basil! And they reheated wonderfully the next day at work. I'll definitely have these again, would even consider dipping in a side of spaghetti sauce! The calorie count is a bit low, so definitely consider a side of fruit or a healthy bar to have before lunchtime. These were TOO easy - next time I'm going to make 2 batches and try freezing half - I have a feeling they'll reheat from frozen very well!
