1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by slicing the fresh mozzarella into ¼ inch thick slices. Slice the heirloom tomatoes into similar thickness, ensuring they are ripe and juicy for the best flavor.
2
Toast the Sourdough
Drizzle the olive oil on both sides of the sourdough bread slices. Toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster until golden brown and crispy.
3
Assemble the Sandwich
On one slice of toasted sourdough, spread a layer of basil pesto. Layer the mozzarella slices on top, followed by the sliced heirloom tomatoes. Add a handful of arugula over the tomatoes.
4
Season and Finish
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the arugula and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top with another slice of toasted sourdough to complete the sandwich.
5
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.
