Sunnies Grilled Smoked Mozzarella Sandwich Recipe

	Sunniedae / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago This is my take on a local pub's sandwich I enjoy. I have also made this into a pasta dish (instead of bread use penne pasta and shred the cheese and dice tomatoes.) Prep:20m Cook:20m Servings:4	Sunniedae

Ingredients

4-8 slices Sourdough or some kind of rustic bread (preferably one with a chewy texture like Portland French Bakery’s City Sour-Wheat Vienna)

1 container pesto or use homemade

1 red onion sliced thin and sautéed until soft and sweet about 15 minutes over medium heat with a bit of olive oil and S&P (get almost caramelized).

1 tomato sliced thin (preferably heirloom or home grown)

1 pack or ball smoked mozzarella sliced medium thin

3-5 fresh basil leaves per sandwich

1 stick real butter at room temp.

Directions

While onions cook, butter one side of bread and using a rubber spatula spread a bit of pesto on other side of bread (I lay the bread butter side down on a sheet of foil or wax paper for preparation).

On half of the slices of bread layer smoked mozzarella cheese, tomato slices (I sprinkle the tomato with fresh cracked pepper and sea salt), some grilled onions, some basil, and more cheese. (You can julienne the basil if you want.)

Preheat skillet, griddle, or Panini press over medium heat until hot. (I have a griddle that folds in half for easy storage, but I cook with it folded in half for grilled cheese and quesadillas it works great.)

Carefully lay the slice of bread with filling in pan and top with other slice of bread butter side up.

Grill until golden brown, then flip and grill other side until golden brown (Can press down a bit on sandwich to make more like a Panini).

Slice in half and serve with tomato basil soup.
