An awesome, quick summer sandwich! You can use only mozzarella cheese, but I like the sharper flavor of provolone (or fontinella) added in. Some ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and a crusty roll, and it's ready in 5 minutes. Ingredients are for one sandwich; make as many as you like! Ingredients:
1 crusty hoagie roll |
2 small plum tomatoes, sliced |
3 slices mozzarella cheese |
3 slices provolone cheese |
4 fresh basil leaves |
1 tablespoon olive oil, approximately |
1 pinch garlic powder |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Drizzle open hoagie-style roll with a little olive oil (on the inside).
2. Layer evenly with tomato slices, then layer with mozzarella cheese.
3. Place basil leaves on top of mozzarella layer, drizzle with a bit more olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder and black pepper to taste.
4. Top with fontinella or provolone slices (or more mozzarella, if you like).
5. Broil openfaced 4 to 5 minutes or until roll is browned and cheese is bubbling.
