Servings 2
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread sourdough, ciabatta, or your favorite
- 8-10 oz fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1 large tomato sliced
- fresh basil thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp balsamic glaze optional
- 4 tbsp butter softened
Instructions
- Lightly butter each slice of bread. On 4 of the slices, add a layer of cheese, sliced tomato, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze to the unbuttered side. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.
- Heat a large skillet over medium. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from skillet, slice, and serve warm. Add an extra drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for the best melt and flavor.
- Pat tomatoes dry to prevent soggy bread.
- Cook on medium heat to melt cheese without burning bread.
- Use sturdy bread like sourdough for best texture.
