Grilled caprese sandwich stuffed with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil pesto!
One of my all time favorite sandwiches is a grilled caprese sandwich. I’ve been making them for years and then one day I had one at a local restaurant that put pesto inside. My mind was blown! My all time favorite sandwich just got even better! Seriously, it is so good. Plus it is super easy to make. Takes 10 minutes or less. Can’t beat that! ;)
I usually pick up a loaf of sliced sour dough bread from a local bakery and it makes this grilled caprese sandwich taste like it came straight from the deli!
Enjoy!!

This turned out great! I wasn’t sure you ment to leave one side grilled and the other naked. I decided to start one piece frst, then ad the cheese and flip the other. Turned out great!
This was fab-thanks for sharing. It’s a new favorite!
I’m so glad you liked it. It is one of my favorite easy lunches. :)
Pretty! This has been a really wonderful article.
Many thanks for providing these details.
This was great and we will be having this occasionally forever now. But I wanted to mention that the amount of butter was too generous for me. I would just add enough to lightly coat the pan for browning. More than that is too much grease and fat, especially because my pesto had a generous amount of olive oil in it anyway.
nice recipe. i love it
can we eat sourdough bread
