Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Pesto Melt
Savor the vibrant flavors of ripe tomato, fresh basil, and creamy mozzarella atop toasted whole wheat bread. This melt combines a lightly cooked egg for added protein with a homemade tomato pesto that brings together the zing of garlic and the freshness of basil, all perfectly balanced for a satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Wheat Bread
3 ounces Fresh Mozzarella
1 medium Tomato
0.5 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large Egg
0.25 cup Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven broiler to medium-high heat.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil, garlic, and the tomato. Drizzle with the olive oil and blend until smooth to create a light tomato pesto.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices until just golden.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading a thin layer of the tomato pesto on each slice of bread.
Layer fresh mozzarella slices and tomato slices on one piece of bread.
Cook the egg to your preference (fried or scrambled) and add it on top of the tomato and cheese layers.
Place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, just until the mozzarella starts to melt and the egg warms up.
Remove from the oven, top with the second slice of bread (pesto side down), slice in half, and serve immediately.
