A delightful twist on the classic Caprese sandwich, featuring a grilled preparation for enhanced flavor and texture.
Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil.
Use a pastry brush for even application of the oil.
Layer basil leaves, tomato slices, and mozzarella slices on two slices of bread, oil side down.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then top with the remaining bread slices, oil side up.
Press the sandwich gently to secure the layers.
Grill the sandwiches on a preheated grill pan over medium heat, flipping once, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side.
Use a spatula to press the sandwich lightly for even grilling.
Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm and the cheese is gooey.
Pair with a fresh salad or soup for a complete meal.
