How to Make The BEST Caprese Sandwich
Description
This sandwich uses sturdy bread like sourdough, ciabatta, or focaccia to hold the ingredients without sogginess. Olive oil is drizzled on the bread slices before layering fresh arugula leaves, thick tomato slices, and generous cuts of fresh mozzarella. Torn basil leaves add herbal brightness while kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper season the layers.
Balsamic vinegar adds a slight sweetness and acidity that complements the creamy mozzarella and ripe tomato. The sandwich is assembled simply, requiring no cooking, which keeps the ingredients fresh and texturally distinct. It suits quick lunches or picnics.
