Instructions

Start by rubbing the bread with a halved garlic clove and then brush the bread with olive oil, making sure the outer side (the side that touches the pan) is well coated.
Drizzle some red wine vinegar on the inner side of each slice.
Layer about 2/3 of the sliced mozzarella, then layer the tomatoes and sprinkle with some kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil over the tomatoes.
Add a few leaves of fresh oregano and then add the sun-dried tomatoes.
Finish with 3 thin slices of mozzarella, and cover with the second slice of bread.
Heat a pan on medium heat and place the sandwich on the pan, cover, and grill for about 3 minutes until the one side becomes golden and crispy. Turn over and press the sandwich with another pan for about 30 seconds. Release and continue to grill for 3 more minutes.
Remove from pan, slice in half, and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Best to use one-day old bread, if you use fresh bread, toast it slightly on a pan.
After straining the grated tomato, save the juice and use it as a broth or drink it!
