Caprese sandwich (pronounced Ka-pray-say)

This is my favorite quick go to meal. It is caprese (pronounced Ka-pray-say) sandwich's. I have included stp by step photos of this process. This is the freshest tasting meal you will ever taste.
First take your fresh basil and roll it long ways


Then you take you knife and cut it down the roll so you have confetti type stuff (I woulda taken pictures of this but my husband wouldn't get off the Wii)


Here are all the ingredients you will need, fresh sliced mozzarella, tomatoes (I prefer smaller tomatoes they have more flavor), fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, fresh cracked pepper, and some of your favorite bread (I like sliced cibiatta or sliced sweet french), turkey if you have to eat meat!


Preheat a nonstick pan with a good amount of EVOO to medium low, closer to low


Start with your sliced bread


Liberally apply mozzarella to each slice


Then layer tomatoes


Add a generous amount of good Kosher salt and cracked pepper (normal salt will do just use less)


Add fresh sliced basil


Drizzle balsamic onto tomatoes (I do it this way so the tomatoes catch the vinegar and it doesn't get all over the bread and sog it up)


I usually stop here but my meatatarian husband likes the stupid turkey so whatever you can add some turkey.


Put the top slice on the turkey and press it together.


Place in preheated pan


Apply pressure, if you don't have a grill press use another heavy skillet



Cook till the bottom looks like this, and then flip


When both sides look like this, take it out, cut and enjoy!!!!!
