Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella
- 1 large Tomato
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the tomato into 4 even slices and lightly season with salt and black pepper.
Arrange the ingredients: Place one slice of fresh mozzarella, two tomato slices, and four basil leaves on a slice of sourdough bread. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the toppings, then add another slice of mozzarella. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Brush the outside of each sandwich with olive oil, spreading evenly on both sides.
Place the sandwiches on the heated skillet or grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Grilled Caprese Sandwich!
