Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
Spread
- Unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Assemble the sandwich: Layer sliced mozzarella, tomato, and fresh basil leaves evenly between two slices of bread.
- Prepare for grilling: Spread softened unsalted butter on the outer sides of each sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy crust during cooking.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for the best flavor and melt.
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little balsamic glaze inside the sandwich before grilling.
- Make sure the butter is softened to spread evenly.
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the bread while melting the cheese.
