Report
This Caprese grilled cheese sandwich recipe is fresh and flavorful; the tomatoes and basil are nestled between the soft and crispy bread and gooey melted mozzarella.

Ingredients
- 2 lices bread thick-cut, fresh sourdough example
- mayonnaise for spreading on bread
- 2-3 lices mozzarella cheese fresh, cut in 1/4 inch thick slices
- 1 tomato sliced (use as much as you want, medium
- basil torn/chopped, fresh, small handful
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Optional add-ins:
- garlic powder light sprinkle
- red onion
- balsamic vinegar a drizzle
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Get your two slices of bread ready, and spread the mayo generously on one side of each slice. Place one of the bread slices (mayo side down) into the pan.
- Add the cheese to the slice of bread that's in the skillet, followed by the tomatoes and basil. Season it generously with salt & pepper. Add the optional add-ins at this time.
- Carefully lift the corner of the bread after a few minutes to see how cooked it is. Once it's nice and golden (took me about 10 minutes), place the second slice of bread on top of the sandwich (mayo side up).
- Flip the sandwich over (I used 2 spatulas) and cover the pan for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt. Take the lid off and check to see how browned the bread is. The second side cooks a lot faster, so be careful not to burn it.
- Once the second side is browned, take it out of the pan and cut it in half. Enjoy immediately.
