About

These luscious little finger snacks gain much of their flavor from fresh mozzarella, the kind that comes in containers with water. For extra accents, minced fresh sage, thyme, parsley, or oregano would always be welcome.

Method

Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200°F to 220°F.
Brush each bread slice on one side with olive oil. Top each bread slice with mozzarella to cover it, then a sprinkling of capers and chile flakes. Place carefully directly on the smoker’s cooking rack and cook until the bread has toasted lightly and the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 min
