Ingredients:
Gluten-Free, Vegan, Serves 4
- 8 slices of gluten-free bread
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup dairy-free mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Preheat a grill pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil over one side of each slice of gluten-free bread. Place the bread slices, oiled side down, on a clean surface. Layer the dairy-free mozzarella cheese slices on half of the bread slices. Top the cheese with sliced tomatoes, followed by fresh basil leaves. Season the tomatoes and basil with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the tomatoes and basil.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the tomato and basil layers, oiled side facing up. Carefully transfer the assembled sandwiches to the preheated grill pan or sandwich press. Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Once grilled, remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them cool slightly.
