Instructions

Step I

  • Spread about a tablespoon of marinara sauce on 1 side of each of the 6 bread slices. Top this evenly with mozzarella cheese and sliced tomatoes.
    12 Bread slices of your choice, 6 tablespoon Marinara sauce, 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella cheese, cut into slices, 3 Large tomatoes, sliced
  • Sprinkle tomatoes with salt, black pepper powder and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil and place 5 to 6 basil leaves on each slice.
    Garlic powder, to taste, Black pepper powder, to taste, Salt, to taste, 1 to 2 tablespoon Olive oil, ½ cup Basil leaves or Mint leaves, loosely packed
  • Place the other remaining slices of bread and brush the top with some butter.
    6 tablespoon Butter, melted

Step II

  • Heat a skillet / grill pan over medium high heat.
  • Place the sandwich butter-side down and brush the other side with butter.
  • Cook till its golden brown and crispy on both the sides for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes on each side and cheese is melted and starts to ooze out.
  • If you find that the cheese has not melted enough, place the sandwich in preheated 350 degree oven for additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Grilled Margherita Sandwich is now ready. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • To easily slice the fresh mozzarella, place it in freezer for 15 minutes before you start making sandwiches. (optional)
  • Vary the ingredient amount as per your taste.
  • I have used parmesan-romano flavored pasta sauce.
