Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons goat cheese
- 2 medium, sliced fresh tomatoes
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly brush one side of each sourdough bread slice with olive oil.
Place two slices of bread, oiled side down, on a clean work surface.
Spread 2 tablespoons of goat cheese evenly on the non-oiled side of each slice.
Layer the sliced tomatoes on top of the goat cheese, followed by 4 basil leaves on each slice.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and ground black pepper over the tomato and basil layers.
Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, with the oiled side facing upward.
Carefully place the sandwiches on the preheated grill pan or skillet.
Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Flip the sandwiches and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the goat cheese is warm and creamy.
Remove the sandwiches from the grill and let them cool for 1 minute before slicing in half and serving.
