This low carb caprese painini sandwich uses 90 second bread with thick slices of mozzarella cheese and a marinated tomato salad.
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 recipe 90 second bread cut in half
- 2-4 Thick slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 recipe Marinated tomato salad (recipe follows)
- 1 tbsp softened butter
Marinated Tomato Salad
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 basil leaves, chiffonade
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- For the tomato salad, combine all ingredients into a small bowl and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Spread half a tbsp of softened butter on to half of the bread and place the bread butter side down on a panini press.
- Place the slices of mozzarella on top of the bread, then add a few spoon full of the tomato salad. Butter the other half of the bread and place it butter side up on top of the mozzarella and tomatoes.
- Press the sandwich down with the panini press and let cook according to the panini press directions.
Notes
- If you do not own a panini press, you could just cook it on the stovetop like you would do a grilled cheese sandwich. I really like the texture the panini press yields, though.
- Instead of a large tomato, you could use a handful of cherry tomatoes. You could also use roma tomatoes.
