Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 8 slices Italian Bread
  • 8 slices Mozzarella Cheese Fresh, about 12 ounces
  • 2 medium Tomato Ripe
  • 12 Fresh Basil Leaves Large
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze

Instructions
 

  • Heat a very large skillet to medium heat.
  • Add olive oil to the pan.
  • Put 4 pieces of bread in the pan. Lay mozzarella on all pieces of bread. Cover with a lid to keep the heat in and melt the cheese.
  • Once the cheese is melted, lay the sliced tomatoes and fresh basil onto the cheese.
  • Sprinkle with salt and drizzle the balsamic glaze on top.
  • Cover the sandwiches with the remaining pieces of bread.
  • Turn and cook on the other side for a few minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

Notes

  • Balsamic drizzle can be found at Italian specialty stores or the Italian foods department in your grocery store. You can also make it yourself by cooking down balsamic vinegar to a thick syrup-like consistency.
