Can't wait for the fresh garden tomatoes for this one. Added it to the "Calling all Gardeners" group. Thanks Sparow!


My kinda sandwich..:)


These are great! I call them Caprese sandwiches. Sometimes I use ciabatta, and press toasted pine nuts into the slices of mozzarella. Thanks a bunch too, for your ratings & comments. Much appreciated.


These sound wonderful! Loooove fresh mozzarella and basil and tomatoes for that matter. . . and sour dough too! LOL


We usually eat this as a salad, never thought of making a sandwich out of it! This is a great idea, and I love the picture!


Talk about delicious and quick and easy!

I just bought a jar of Costco brand pesto. I would think that would work instead of the basil and olive oil. Just thinking.-Lori


On the inside not the outside. I should have read the whole recipe before I made up my own. Attention deficit ya know.
