Mozzarella and Tomato Sandwich

It’s kind of all about the bread. I don’t make my own, but maybe one day. Artisan sourdough loafs are yeasty and tangy, and make for a great sandwich. Especially with fresh tomatoes.

Ingredients

Loaf of sourdough bread, or ciabatta

Fresh Mozzarella

Parmesan

Tomatoes

Arugula

Basil

Pesto

Olive Oil

Salt

Preparation

for the pesto

Blend together the basil, arugula, olive oil, salt, and parmesan. I like mine coarsely blended, so I use just enough olive oil to bring it together. For a smoother, looser pesto, add more olive oil until it blends easily.

Spread the pesto on both sides of the bread

Add slices mozzarella, halved cherry tomatoes, and arugula. Sprinkle some salt on the arugula

Finish with shaved parmesan, and drizzle of olive oil and it’s ready for a bite
