Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices dairy-free cheese slices
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 4 slices dairy-free bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
1. Start by washing the ripe tomato and fresh basil leaves under cold running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Slice the tomato into thin round slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
3. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up for about 1 minute.
4. Lay two slices of dairy-free bread on a cutting board and place two slices of dairy-free cheese on one slice of each bread pair.
5. Arrange tomato slices evenly over the cheese layer and sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes.
6. Add basil leaves on top of the tomato slices, and then close the sandwich with the remaining slice of bread.
7. Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the heated pan and press down gently with a spatula. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the dairy-free cheese has started to melt.
8. Once done, remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half diagonally. Serve warm.
