Another simple little lunch idea for your summer. Instead of another Caprese Salad (you know…basil, tomato and fresh mozzarella), just take everything and turn it into a grilled cheese sandwich. Lunch is done!
This makes one sandwich.
Shopping List
two pieces of good quality bread (I used a nice whole wheat)
two thick slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
a handful of basil
two thick slices of tomato
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
salt and pepper
salt and pepper
Preheat a large skillet or your indoor grill pan to medium-high heat.
Assemble your sandwich: bread, mozzarella, basil, tomato, drizzle on some EVOO and sprinkle down some salt and pepper, top with another slice of bread. Place on your skillet and grill up about four minutes per side (or until the cheese is nice and melted). Remove from grill or skillet, split in half and serve.
Seriously…how much better is a hot sandwich for lunch than a salad? And it’s about the same amount of work.
Just a little lunch for your Thursday!
