Grilled Caprese Sandwich
🤌Caprese grilled cheese sandwiches are simple to make and have so much flavor! The combination of mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and pesto gives a soft, sweet, and crunchy bite with every bite. A light and tasty lunch or dinner that is satisfying in every way!
Ingredients
- Bread: Has a unique flavor that blends well with the layered ingredients.
- Butter: Spread the butter on the two outside pieces of bread to give a crispy outside layer on the bread.
- Basil pesto: Make a homemade basil pesto or have it store-bought.
- Tomato: Sliced tomatoes add a zesty and flavorful combination.
- Mozzarella cheese: Use fresh mozzarella chopped or grated.
Instructions
- Prepare. Warm a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Butter both sides of your bread and then grill one side.
- Cook. Once it has lightly browned, flip the bread over to brown the other side. Turn the heat to low. Then spread the pesto on the grilled side and the cheese on top.
- Golden brown. Allow the cheese to melt a little, then place tomatoes on top of the cheese followed by the top piece of bread. Turn the heat off if browning too fast and allow the sandwich to sit in the skillet until melted.
Notes
Additions: A drizzle of balsamic glaze or some sliced cooked chicken would also make a delicious addition.
🍃Pesto: I love using my favorite homemade basil pesto when making this recipe.
