Caprese Sandwich

This caprese sandwich is fresh from the basil and hearty from thick, crusty ciabatta. The sun-dried tomatoes deepen the flavor. Topping the bread with a layer of basil leaves and using toasted bread helps to keep the sandwich from getting soggy if you need to make it a few hours ahead.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices ciabatta, toasted
  • ΒΌ cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
  • 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
