The combination of mozzarella, fresh basil, and vine-ripened tomatoes is a perfect trio of flavors. This grilled Caprese sandwich takes that simple perfection and nestles it between two golden, buttery delicious slices of bread.
My husband says that the mayo is the best part of this sandwich. It adds a slight zing of flavor and helps marry all the other fresh flavors together into one ooey gooey bite of cheesy goodness.
This sandwich would go great with tomato basil soup or a tossed salad. It’s great for lunch or a light dinner.
