Grilled Caprese Sandwich

2 servings

15 minutes

Grilled Caprese sandwich is a true embodiment of Italian culinary art. This recipe is inspired by the famous Caprese salad, which represents the freshness and simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine. Soft white bread soaked in fragrant olive oil becomes a crispy base for juicy tomatoes, tender mozzarella, and aromatic pesto. The perfect combination of tomato sweetness, cheese creaminess, and basil sharpness makes each bite truly unforgettable. Grilling adds crunch and a slightly smoky note that enhances the depth of flavor. This sandwich is perfect for a quick snack or a cozy Italian-style dinner. Enjoy it with a cup of aromatic espresso or a glass of light white wine to feel the spirit of sunny Italy.
