Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 8 slices thick slices of crusty bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).
Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil, roughly 12x12 inches in size, on a flat surface.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Place 2-3 tomato slices in the center of each sheet of foil.
Top each portion of tomatoes with 2 basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Lightly drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each assembly and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Lay 2 slices of bread on top of each tomato and cheese stack. If desired, drizzle a bit more olive oil over the bread for extra flavor.
Fold the aluminum foil sheets tightly around each sandwich stack, creating sealed packets to trap the steam and flavors inside.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill using tongs and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before opening.
Drizzle each sandwich with a small amount of balsamic glaze for added flavor, if desired. Serve warm directly from the foil packets.
