Caprese Grill Cheese with balsamic basil mayo

Caprese Grill Cheese with balsamic basil mayo

If you are tired of the old (but still good) grilled cheese sandwich and want to try something new, then I suggest this recipe. I really enjoyed it and I will be making it again. I made it on Meatless Monday, but next time I will kick it up a notch with my favourite food..............wait for it..............................BACON!!!!

This is a really quick and easy recipe and I am sure you could substitute the mozza cheese for any other kind of cheese that you have in the fridge.


Ingredients:

2 slices whole grain bread
2 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
2-3 tomato slices
1 tbsp butter, soft
1 1/2  tbsp light mayo
1/4 tsp freshly chopped basil
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions:

1. Preheat griddle or stove top pan to medium-low to medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine mayo, basil and balsamic vinegar.  (Add more or less basil or balsamic vinegar to your taste). 
3. Evenly spread butter on one side of a slice of bread.  Place this side down on the griddle or pan.  Quickly spread the balsamic mayo on the side of the bread facing up, then quickly assemble your sandwich with the mozarella and tomatoes.  Sprinkle with a dash of salt and pepper. 
4. Evenly spread butter on one side of the other slice of bread.  Place on top of the sandwich with the buttered side up. 
5. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.
