Time: 25 minutes. All the ingredients of the classic summer salad go into these terrific grilled sandwiches. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
8 slices (about 1/2 in. thick) crusty italian bread |
3 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced |
1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thinly |
16 medium basil leaves |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
sea salt |
freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Prepare a grill for medium heat (350° to 450°). Combine 1 tbsp. oil and the garlic and brush onto 1 side of bread.
2. Lay bread oiled side down on grill and cook until slightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Turn bread over, lay tomato slices on bread to fit, overlapping if needed, then lay cheese slices over tomatoes. Cover grill and cook until cheese starts to melt, about 4 minutes.
3. Transfer sandwiches to a platter. Put 2 basil leaves over each sandwich and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp. oil and the vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
