2 slices Italian bread or bread of choice

3 oz mozzarella cheese
3 leaves fresh basil, cut into ribbons
2 cherry tomatoes, sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or butter)
1 clove garlic, cut in half

2 slices Italian bread or bread of choice 2 tablespoons tomato sauce 3 oz mozzarella cheese 3 leaves fresh basil, cut into ribbons 2 cherry tomatoes, sliced 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or butter) 1 clove garlic, cut in half

Spread the 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce on the Italian bread, using 1 tablespoon per slice.
Layer on the mozzarella cheese, focusing most of the overlap in the center. Add on fresh basil and cherry tomatoes.
Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Pan grill the sandwich in the olive oil or butter until lightly browned, and then flip to cook the other side.
Once the bread is browned and the cheese oozing, remove from heat. Lightly rub a cut half-clove of garlic on each side of the sandwich-- the grilled bread should grate it so the garlic stays on the sandwich. Enjoy while warm.
