Ingredients
  

Sandwich Ingredients
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 113 g fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • 10 g fresh basil leaves
  • 30 g butter
  • 15 ml balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer mozzarella, tomato, basil, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
  2. Close the sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the mozzarella is melted.
  3. Let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, cook over medium-low heat so the bread gets perfectly golden while the mozzarella melts completely.
