Ingredients
- 4 slices Crusty Bread
- 6 ounces Mozzarella sliced
- 2 Tomatoes sliced
- 12 Basil Leaves
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Glaze
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Pesto optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread. Slice your ciabatta, focaccia, or crusty sandwich bread in half. If you want a little extra texture, lightly toast the bread before assembling.
- Slice the Mozzarella and Tomatoes. Cut the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes into even slices. This helps create a balanced sandwich with a little of everything in each bite.
- Layer the Ingredients. Arrange the mozzarella slices on the bottom half of the bread, followed by the tomato slices and fresh basil leaves.
- Season and Add Flavor. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, or spread a little pesto onto the bread if using.
- Close and Serve. Add the top half of the bread and press gently. Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, or toast it briefly in a panini press or skillet if you prefer a warm sandwich.
