Mozzarella, Basil, and Roasted Pepper Sandwiches image

Number Of Ingredients 4

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

Steps:

  • 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. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.

These sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover roasted peppers. I always have a few jars in my fridge and they're perfect for this recipe.

I made these sandwiches for lunch today and they were perfect! The bread was crispy, the cheese was melted and gooey, and the roasted peppers added a nice pop of flavor.

I've made these sandwiches several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The roasted peppers add a nice smoky flavor that really complements the mozzarella and basil.
