Caprese Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the fresh mozzarella into 1/4 inch thick slices. Slice the large tomato into similar thickness. Cut the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the basil aioli evenly on the inside of both halves of the ciabatta. Layer the prosciutto slices, fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and arugula on the bottom half of the ciabatta.

  3. 3

    Add Balsamic Reduction

    Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the arugula before placing the top half of the ciabatta on the sandwich.

  4. 4

    Toast (Optional)

    If desired, grill the sandwich in a panini press or on a skillet until the ciabatta is golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich into halves or quarters and serve immediately.
