Simple Caprese Sandwich
A light and delicious vegetarian sandwich that pleases almost everyone!
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread or a roll (baguette is very good-see pic at bottom)
- 1 tomato sliced, good quality like heirloom
- 2 oz fresh mozzarella slices, preferably mozzarella di bufala, if you can source it
- ¼ tsp sea salt (a couple pinches)
- ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Arrange the tomato slices on the bottom bread slice and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt.
- Next, place the mozzarella slices on top of the tomatoes along with some torn pieces of basil leaves (or whole leaves) on top, and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
- Finally, place the other slice of bread on top and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use a toothpick to hold the sandwich together if you're serving a crowd and want to keep them in place.
- Remember, an authentic Caprese salad, sandwich or similar creation will never include any sort of Balsamic vinegar or glaze.
