Tomato and Mozzarella Cheese Sandwich
August 27, 2011 by: Brian
Very simple, summertime sandwich for that hold-me-over to dinner, or a afternoon snack after mowing the yard. (more elegant recipe to follow)
Simple ingredients:
Sliced Tomatoes
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Salt / Pepper
Basil
Balsamic Vinegar
Toast
Aioli or Mayo
On a cookie sheet, layout the sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, top with a generous mound of mozzarella cheese. Broil in the oven until cheese is melted and slightly browned on top.
In the meantime, prepare some toast on bread of your choice (today’s was a whole wheat but a ciabatta would be GREAT). Spread a thin layer of aioli on insides of both pieces of bread.
Put the tomatoes and cheese on the toast and sprinkle some basil on top, again to taste, drizzle on some balsamic vinegar. Cover, slice diagonally and enjoy!
This also makes a great appetizer: remove the crust, cut sandwich into fourths, secure with a toothpick.
