Ingredients
baguette,or hoagie roll
4slicesfresh mozzarella cheese
5fresh basil leaves
½tomato
salt
pepper
olive oil
Preparation
Grab the bottom half of the bread and drizzle on about 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
Sprinkle the bread with as many basil leaves as desired , plus fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and a dash each of salt and pepper.
Top the ingredients with another teaspoon’s worth of olive oil, drizzled all over. Put on the top piece of bread.
Pour just enough olive oil into the skillet to lightly cover the pan. Heat over a medium burner until the oil is shimmering, but not smoking.
Put the sandwich in the skillet and weigh it down with the heavy pot or pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the heavy pot or pan, flip the sandwich over, and weigh it down again. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melting and oozing out the sides.
Serve hot and enjoy!
