Ingredients

  • 1 to mato sliced into four slices
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil
  • fresh mozzarella log sliced thinly
  • 4 slices of bread
  • balsamic reduction*
  • sea salt
  • *For balsamic reduction:
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Place tomato slices on top of bread. For the size of my bread, two slices of tomato fit on each piece of bread.
  • Top with mozzarella. Again, this is going to depend on your preference of cheesiness and size of your bread. I put 2-3 slices of mozzarella on each piece of bread.
  • Place bread onto baking sheet.
  • Place under broiler for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.
  • Top with chopped basil, drizzle with balsamic reduction, and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Enjoy!
  • *To make balsamic reduction:
  • Place balsamic vinegar and sugar into small saucepan.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Lower heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, until vinegar is thickened to the consistency of maple syrup. A good way to tell is that it will coat the back of a spoon.
