Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices ciabatta or hearty bread
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 1 large ripe tomato
  • 6 to 8 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • Flaky salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Slice tomato and mozzarella into 1/4-inch rounds (about 5 slices each). Rinse basil and pat dry.
  2. Drizzle half the olive oil on the bottom bread slice. Layer basil, tomato, and mozzarella in overlapping layers, seasoning between with salt and pepper.
  3. Drizzle the remaining oil and balsamic glaze over the fillings. Close the sandwich, press gently, cut diagonally, and serve immediately.

Notes

Eat this sandwich as soon as it’s assembled; the bread will soften quickly from the tomato juices and balsamic. If you want a little more structure, toast the bread lightly first.
