INGREDIENTS
4 oz Fresh Mozzarella
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
1 medium Tomato
10g Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your broiler to medium-high and set an oven rack in the upper third of the oven.
In a small food processor or blender, combine the tomato (reserve half for slicing later), fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, and olive oil. Blend until you achieve a slightly chunky pesto. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices until they are just crisp but not fully browned.
Slice the fresh mozzarella into even slices and layer them on one of the toasted bread slices.
Slice the reserved tomato half into thin rounds and arrange them over the mozzarella.
Drizzle a spoonful of the tomato-basil pesto evenly over the cheese and tomato slices.
Place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to ensure the mozzarella begins to melt without burning the bread.
Remove from the oven, season with an extra pinch of salt and pepper if desired, then top with the second slice of toasted bread. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the melty, fresh flavors.
