This isn’t your basic basil-and-balls Caprese. We spiced things up with a checkerboard twist and a bold drizzle of Spice Witch Chili Crisp. It’s juicy, crunchy, and just the right amount of chaos.

Slice and prep: halve the tomatoes. Slice the mozzarella or use pearls.
Make the grid: alternate tomatoes and mozzarella on a square board like a checkerboard.
Tuck basil leaves between the squares, or stack them on top.
Sprinkle with flaky salt and cracked pepper, then drizzle Spice Witch Chili Crisp over the whole board. Don’t hold back.
Optional: finish with a swirl of balsamic glaze.

Notes

Creamy, crunchy, herby, spicy. It takes 10 minutes and looks like you tried much harder than you did.
