Grilled Cheese - Caprese Style


You should make this for lunch today.



This sandwich is SO good. Plus it is easy, which is good for a sunday lunch item.

Ingredients:
Buffalo Mozzarella, sliced
Tomatoes
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh Basil, chiffonade
Bread, sliced
Butter

1. Combine olive oil, balsamic, basil and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slice your tomatoes and add to the bowl. Let marinate for about 5 minutes.

2. Spread your bread slices on one side with butter. Build your sandwich, placing Mozzarella and tomatoes on bread. Grill like you would a grilled cheese sandwich. Do I need to write directions for this?

Serve with cucumber salad or homemade fridge pickles (okay, they don't have to be homemade.)

  1. Does the mozzarella melt? I will have to try this!

  2. No, it warms up but stays together and chewy. If you want a melty/gooey grilled cheese, this is not the one for you! But you could substitute something like fontina for the mozzarella and still have a very good sandwich.
