Ingredients
2 slices of bread (ciabatta or sourdough recommended)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced
2–3 slices ripe tomato
4–5 fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
Brush the outside of both slices of bread with olive oil.
Layer the mozzarella slices, tomato slices, and basil leaves onto the inside of one slice of bread.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the fillings.
Place the second slice of bread on top, with the oiled side facing outward.
Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat.
Grill the sandwich for 3–5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the mozzarella is melted.
Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use high-quality fresh mozzarella for the best flavor and melt.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the tomato flavor.
You can substitute pesto for basil for a richer taste.
If using a skillet, press the sandwich down with a heavy pan for a crispier texture.
Best served hot and fresh for maximum flavor and texture.
