Tomato, Cheese & Pesto Sandwich Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Roasted Tomatoes

   If you haven't done so already, roast the tomatoes by slicing them in half, drizzling with olive oil, and seasoning with salt and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

2. 2

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Spread the herbed cheese evenly on one slice of ciabatta. On the other slice, spread the basil pesto. Layer the roasted tomatoes on top of the herbed cheese, followed by the slice of mozzarella cheese. Add fresh basil leaves on top of the mozzarella.

3. 3

   Final Assembly and Toasting

   Close the sandwich with the pesto-covered slice of ciabatta. Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle some olive oil. Place the sandwich in the skillet and toast for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

4. 4

   Serve

   Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve warm.
