DESCRIPTION
Dinner can be anything you want it to be. Today, I want it to be a delicious sandwich, like this Caprese Grilled Cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Italian bread
- 4 tsp. unsalted butter, softened (or you can use mayonnaise if your butter is cold and hard)
- 4 tsp. olive oil
- 4 deli-cut slices mozzarella cheese
- 1 large tomato, sliced into 6 slices
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 4 large basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or large frying pan over medium-low heat. Get out the bread. Butter one side of each slice with 1 teaspoon of butter each. Flip the bread over and brush each slice with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Put the slices in the pan, butter-side-down. Top each slice with a slice of mozzarella. Tent loosely with foil and cook until bread is brown underneath and cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes (note that you should monitor the underside of the bread and if it is browning to quickly, reduce the heat). Remove from heat.
- Top two of the breads with 3 slices of tomato each, overlapping them tomatoes so that they fill but don’t overflow from the bread. Sprinkle tomatoes with a good pinch of salt and of pepper. Top tomatoes with basil leaves.
- Invert tomato-less breads over the basil leaves and transfer to a cutting board. Cut in half.
