Caprese Sandwich on a Garlic Poppy Ciabatta Roll

This is a total no brainer easy sandwich. The only thing you need to know, is how to turn the knob on your oven to “broil”. 😉

I have started growing some herbs on the deck, and could not WAIT to try my sweet basil.  It smells sooooo good!  I thought I’d make up a quick Sandwich to try it out.  I love fresh mozzarella also, so the first thing that came to mind was Caprese Salad.  Only, I turned mine into a sandwich. Here is what I used….

First I toasted the Garlic Poppy Ciabatta in the oven on broil, to get it a little crispy.  Then took a knife full of the minced garlic, and spread it on both halves of the roll. I layered my fresh basil, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella slices on the roll. Then drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. I popped it back into the oven for a few minutes to let it warm up and melt together a bit. Then served it open-faced. 

This really hit the spot!  It would also be delish with some balsamic vinegar drizzled on top.
