Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella (shredded part-skim )
  • 1 roma tomato (thinly sliced)
  • 1 thin slice of red onion
  • 8 basil leaves (fresh )
  • pinch of kosher or sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Instruction

  • Spread olive oil with a pastry or basting brush over two slices of bread. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
  • Place one of the bread slices, oil-side down and top basil leaves, tomato slices, onion, and mozzarella. Top with other piece of bread, olive oil side up.
  • Place a heavy-bottomed skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat or use a Panini press.
  • If using a skillet, press down with lid to flatten the sandwich a bit. Cook for about 2 minutes, until golden on the bottom, and flip. Repeat on other side.
  • Slice sandwich in half to make 2 servings. Enjoy!
