Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 120 grams vegan mozzarella
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
Instructions
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set them aside.
If using, peel the garlic clove and rub it on one side of each bread slice for a subtle garlic flavor.
Brush one side of each sourdough bread slice with olive oil.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the bread slices, oil-side down, onto the pan and lightly toast for 2-3 minutes until golden.
Flip the bread slices over and layer vegan mozzarella, tomato slices, and basil leaves on two of the slices while on the pan.
Season the tomato slices with salt and black pepper to taste.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tomato and vegan mozzarella layers for a tangy sweetness.
Top each assembled slice with the remaining plain toasted bread slices and press gently.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the vegan mozzarella slightly, then remove the sandwiches from the pan.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Tomato Mozzarella Sandwich!
