Grilled Caprese Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 slices sliced Italian bread, French bread, or sourdough bread
• 2 slices of a fresh mozzarella cheese, about 1/4 inch thick (you can find fresh mozzarella balls in your speciality cheese section of your grocery store)
• 2 slices of tomato, about 1/4 inch thick
• 2 basil leaves
• 2 teaspoons basil pesto
• olive oil or butter
• salt and pepper
• balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. Heat your skillet to medium high heat or heat your panini press. Brush the outside of your bread with olive oil or butter. Flip over and spread about 1 teaspoon of basil pesto on the inside of each slice of bread.
2. Place your mozzarella slices on top of the pesto on one piece of bread. Next, layer your tomato slices and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Top with the basil leaves and your other piece of bread.
3. Cook sandwiches in a pan or panini press for a 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the mozzarella has melted. Serve with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on the side or over the top.
