Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
Sourdough bread – It’s one of my favorite breads for a sandwich, especially grilled cheese sandwiches and it’s flavor goes perfectly with the other ingredients in this sandwich. Homemade Pesto – The pesto sauce is spread onto the bread as the base layer of the sandwich. Mozzarella cheese – Thickly sliced mozzarella cheese is layered on top of the pesto. Once grilled, it melts and combines with the pesto for incredible flavors. Tomato – Sliced ripe tomatoes top the mozzarella cheese slices on the sandwich. Fresh basil – Large, fresh basil leaves top the tomatoes for delicious flavor throughout the sandwich. Balsamic Glaze – A light drizzle of this on top of the other ingredients of the sandwich before topping adding the second slice of sourdough completes the caprese salad flavor. Butter – A bit of room temperature butter to spread on the outside of the sourdough gives a buttery, crisp taste to the bread.
