Grilled Caprese Sandwich

Ingredients

2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced

garlic infused olive oil (recipe on earlier post, see grilled green beans recipe)

1/2 tsp himalayan salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 cup fresh basil

1/4 cup veganaise

4 thick slices fresh mozzarella

2 ciabatta rolls

Directions

Infused the olive oil with garlic, brush on the tomatoes, and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place tomatoes on a foil-lined grill and grill until tender, about 5-8 minutes. Place the ciabatta rolls on the grill to lightly toast. Mix together veganaise, 1/8 cup basil, and the leftover garlic from the infused oil (press). Spread the garlic basil mayo on the rolls, top with mozzarella slices, remaining basil, and the grilled tomatoes.

This was one of the best sandwiches I have ever made! The grilled heirloom tomatoes made this recipe. They tasted like fresh marinara sauce. I am also crazy about a really good fresh mozzarella. At our local co-op they make their mozzarella fresh, so it's always delicious. The ciabatta rolls were also freshly baked, so it added to the perfection of the simple sandwich. The key link here is to have fresh high-quality ingredients.
