Toasted Caprese Sandwich

One of my favorite salads served up as a toasted sandwich.

• Ready In: 13 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 4  slices  sourdough bread
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 10  fresh basil leaves, rinsed
• 1 -2  tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick, firm works best
• 2  ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil. Place 2 slices, oil side down, on a baking sheet and layer with basil leaves, tomato slices, and mozzarella slices. Salt and pepper to taste and then top with remaining bread slices, oil side up.
2. Broil 6 inches from heat, turning once during cooking, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes total. Serve immediately.
