Sentimental Sandwich

One of many amazing European meals on our honeymoon.

I hate to brag, but Chris and I had pretty much the best honeymoon ever. We spent a week in Italy, and a week in southern France, enjoying lots of great food, delicious wine, beautiful sights . . . it was amazing. We occasionally try to recreate parts of the trip, and our latest is the caprese sandwich. It's delicious, and very easy to make.

Start with good bakery bread, a good tomato, fresh mozzerella cheese, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Fresh basil is optional. Lightly toast the bread and add thick slices of the cheese and tomato. Finish off with spices and dressing to taste and eat. That's it!



This sandwich is all about quality ingredients, so I recommend a good home grown or farmer's market tomato, great sourdough or French bread and high quality mozzerella, which is usually either vacuum sealed or in fluid in the deli area of the grocery store.

I recommend enjoying your sandwich with a nice cold stout! Bon appetit!
