Mozzarella, Basil, and Roasted Pepper Sandwiches


Serves: 2
Total Calories: 320

Ingredients

4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices
4 slices country bread
4 fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup roasted red or yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips

Directions:

1 Trim the mozzarella slices to fit the bread. If the mozzarella is juicy, pat it dry. Lay half the cheese in a single layer on two slices of bread.

2 Arrange the basil leaves and peppers on the cheese and top with the remaining mozzarella. Place the remaining bread on top and press down firmly with your hands.

3 Preheat a sandwich press or stove-top grill pan. Place the sandwiches in the press and cook until toasted, about 4 to 5 minutes. If using a grill pan, place a heavy weight such as a frying pan on top. Turn the sandwiches when browned on one side, cover with the weight, and toast on the second side. Serve hot.
