Ingredients
- 4 slices ciabatta bread
- olive oil or butter
- 1 garlic clove, halved
- 1 Cosmic Crisp® Apple, sliced thin, about 4-5 slices per sandwich
- 6-8 tomato slices, about 3-4 slices per sandwich
- salt and pepper
- 4-6 slices mozzarella cheese, about 2-3 slices per sandwich
- balsamic glaze to drizzle
- 2 handfuls fresh basil
Instructions
- Drizzle olive oil or spread butter on each piece of ciabatta bread. On medium heat in a large frying pan, toast the 4 slices of bread until golden. Remove the bread from the heat and rub each slice with a garlic clove half to impart some garlic flavour. Set aside.
- To make one sandwich, layer 4-5 apple slices on the bottom layer of the bread, followed by 3-4 tomato slices with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Then, layer 2-3 mozzarella slices and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the cheese. Finally, finish by adding a handful of basil and top with a final piece of ciabatta bread. Repeat to make the second sandwich.

Notes
- This sandwich is delicious on ciabatta bread BUT can be made with any bread that suits your tastes including gluten-free bread!
- Same goes for the cheese; if you need to use dairy-free cheese go right ahead.
