Caprese Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Caprese Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pesto Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the pesto and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the Tomato

    Wash the beef steak tomato and slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices.

  3. 3

    Slice the Buffalo Mozzarella

    Carefully slice the buffalo mozzarella into 1/4 inch thick slices, keeping them intact.

  4. 4

    Toast the Focaccia (optional)

    If desired, toast the tomato focaccia slices in a skillet or toaster until slightly crispy.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of pesto aioli on one slice of focaccia. Layer with fresh basil leaves, followed by slices of beef steak tomato and buffalo mozzarella. If using chicken, add a grilled chicken breast on top of the mozzarella.

  6. 6

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the other slice of focaccia. Press down gently to hold everything together.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with your choice of side.
