FRESH TOMATO MOZZARELLA BASIL SANDWICH
I had this wonderful pizza during one of my recent jaunts.. a simple mozzarella, basil & tomato pizza. Now, who could have thought that this humble pizza could be anything but. I was wrong. I am not big on pizzas or cheese but this blew me away. I never knew that mozzarella could be this fresh and melt in your mouth and the flavor of fresh basil transported me to Italy (or I how imagine it to be).
Naturally, I tried this at home. But in a slightly different way. I made a sandwich using the freshest of ingredients sourced locally. Try using fresh bread, mozzarella and basil for maximum flavor. I assure you this will become a regular on your menu too.
You can also spread pesto on your baguette and add vine or grape tomatoes to give it a twist. Club it with a hot soup for a heartwarming meal on an Autumn evening.
Ingredients:
Olive Oil, 1/2 cup
Italian Herbs, 1 tsp
Sea Salt to taste
Black Pepper, 1/4 tsp (optional)
Roma Tomato, 2 sliced thickly
Fresh Mozzarella, 5 ounces
Fresh Basil, handful
French Baguette, 1

Tomato Mozzarella Pan Bagnat
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 20 min (includes sitting time)
Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
3 tablespoons minced shallots (2 shallots)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
6 anchovy fillets, drained and minced (optional)
2 tablespoons drained capers
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
2 medium ripe tomatoes
4 individual ciabatta rolls, cut in half horizontally
6 to 8 ounces lightly salted fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1/2 cup julienned fresh basil leaves
Directions
Special equipment: an electric panini press
For the vinaigrette, whisk the shallots, garlic, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, stir in the anchovies (if using), capers, and olives, and set aside.
Core the tomatoes and slice them 1/3 inch thick. Place the bottom halves of the ciabattas, cut side up, on a sheet pan. Place a layer of tomato on each bread, spoon on 2/3 of the vinaigrette, add a layer of mozzarella, and sprinkle with the basil leaves. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette on the cut sides of the ciabatta tops and place them, cut side down, on the sandwiches. Place a second sheet pan on the sandwiches and put weights on top, such as cans of tomatoes. Allow the sandwiches to sit at room temperature for an hour for the flavors to blend.
Heat an electric panini press and toast the sandwiches for 5 to 10 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the mozzarella starts to melt. Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
