Ingredients
- 4 slices Gluten-free sandwich bread
- 8 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 large Tomato
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the tomato under cold running water then slice it into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Step 2
Lay out the slices of gluten-free sandwich bread on a cutting board. Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
To assemble the sandwiches, place 4 slices of mozzarella cheese on the non-oiled side of one slice of bread.
Step 5
Add tomato slices evenly over the mozzarella cheese.
Step 6
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes, then lay 4 fresh basil leaves on top.
Step 7
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of balsamic glaze over the basil.
Step 8
Top with another 4 slices of mozzarella cheese and cover with the second slice of bread, oiled side out.
Step 9
Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Step 10
Place the sandwiches in the pre-heated skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 11
Once the sandwiches are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the skillet.
Step 12
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve warm.
