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.
- 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.
