Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece large tomato
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 handful baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomato and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Slice the tomato into 4 even rounds, keeping them as uniform in thickness as possible. These will act as your 'bread' slices.
Lay 2 tomato slices flat on a clean cutting board or plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto evenly across the top of each slice.
Place 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto layer on each tomato slice.
Add a few baby spinach leaves on top of the mozzarella slices.
Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil and a balsamic glaze over the spinach for added flavor.
Sprinkle a small pinch of salt and black pepper over the assembled layers.
Carefully place the remaining 2 tomato slices on top of each stack to form the sandwich. Gently press down to secure the layers.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb tomato mozzarella sandwich!
