Sleezy Capreezies make great Make ahead appetizers.  Prep the ingredients, Assemble the toasts, cover, and finish the final toast right before you are ready to serve.

Watch your Capreezys on the final toast.  You want to cook enough that the flavors infuse in the bread, and the creamy Mozzarella, is nice and melted golden-brown

Choose similar diameters for the bread, tomato, and Mozzarella Cheese

If you choose Mozzarella that is pre-sliced, consider slicing each slice again to make them thin

You can serve each toast, or serve thinly sliced- the perfect appetizers
