I just thought this was funny. Admit it. You feel like this, too, sometimes. I don't feel like this most days (fortunately!), but recently I met someone who made me think of this quote... a little presumptuous and awkwardly "smooth" but not tempting enough to hit or bite ;), just enough to snicker. You know it's a good day when you can laugh at silliness... and bite into something worth chewing like this gooey sandwich.
caprese grilled cheese sandwich
4 slices of thick french bread
4 slices of mozzerella cheese
fresh basil leaves
tomato, thinly sliced (recommend juicy and sweet hybrid stramato, or roma)
balsamic vinegar
olive oil
salt and pepper
1. Brush one side of the french bread slices with melted butter. Place one provolone slice on the un-buttered side. Arrange fresh basil leaves on top of cheese. Layer tomato slices on top of basil leaves.
2. Drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. Place another cheese slice.
3. Top arrangement with the other slice of french bread with buttered side up.
4. Meanwhile, heat a wide pan over low heat. Place sandwich on pan with buttered side down. Toast, flipping once, until both sides are lightly browned and cheese melts.
*other filling options: provolone or swiss with arugula, and prosciutto or chicken, gruyere and smoked salmon
(makes 2 servings because it's always more fun when there's enough to share or have seconds)
