Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices coconut milk mozzarella cheese
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 loaf ciabatta or other dairy-free bread
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by slicing the ciabatta loaf into four equal pieces, creating two sandwiches. If using a different type of bread, slice it as needed to prepare for assembling the sandwich.
Cut the large tomato into approximately four thick slices, about 1/4-inch thick each, aiming for even distribution between the sandwiches.
Arrange two slices of coconut milk mozzarella cheese on the bottom half of each bread slice. Next, layer with a few fresh basil leaves and two slices of tomato on top of the cheese on each sandwich.
Drizzle each sandwich with a tablespoon of balsamic glaze and a half tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper evenly over the tomato slices and garnish with remaining basil leaves.
Top off with the other half of each bread piece, pressing down gently to hold the ingredients together.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture. Enjoy your fresh, dairy-free Caprese sandwich!
