Ingredients

• 4 slices Gluten-free bread
• 8 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 large Tomato
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the large tomato into about 1/4 inch thick slices and set aside.

Step 3

Brush 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil on one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.

Step 4

Place the slices of bread, oil-side down, on the grill pan or skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the bread and assemble the sandwiches: On two of the slices, layer alternating slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and tomato.

Step 6

Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the mozzarella and tomato slices.

Step 7

Place four fresh basil leaves on each sandwich.

Step 8

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze evenly over the fillings on each sandwich.

Step 9

Top each with the remaining slices of grilled bread, oil-side up.

Step 10

Return the sandwiches to the grill pan or skillet (if needed, in batches) and grill each side for an additional 2-3 minutes, pressing down gently, until the cheese is slightly melted and everything is heated through.

Step 11

Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
