Caprese sandwich
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- No cook
- Easy
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices of focaccia or 8 slices of bread, to serve
- 2 tbsp basil pesto (ensure vegetarian, if needed)
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- handful of rocket
- 2 x 125g balls of mozzarella, sliced (ensure vegetarian, if needed)
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
- small handful of basil leaves
- 1⁄2 small red onion, sliced (optional)
- 2 tsp thick balsamic vinegar
Method
- STEP 1
If using focaccia, cut the slices across the middle so you have a total of eight slices. Spread 1/4 tbsp pesto over four of the focaccia or bread slices, and drizzle each of the remaining four slices with 1/2 tsp olive oil.
- STEP 2
Divide the rocket, mozzarella, tomatoes, basil leaves and red onion slices over the pesto-topped focaccia or bread. Drizzle 1/4 tsp balsamic vinegar over each of the remaining slices. Sandwich the slices together, wrap up for a picnic or serve straightaway. Best eaten on the day they’re made.
