Caprese Open Face Sandwich
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 5-6 fresh basil leaves
  • ¼ cup pesto
  • 2 or 3 ripe roma or beefsteak tomatoes
  • 5-6 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp each of sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 1 loaf of a hearty crusty baguette or French bread
Instructions
  1. Roast the garlic cloves in the oven at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Slice the bread in half and rub both halves down with the roasted garlic. Drizzle with a touch of evvo and broil until slightly golden brown but not too much because you are going to put everything back into the oven soon to melt the cheese.
  2. Brush the bread with the pesto then add a layer of the basil leaves. Next add on the slices of cheese and finally top with the slices of tomatoes. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and place back in the oven for another 5-6 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
