Caprese Sandwich

 This Caprese sandwich recipe is perfect for picnics! This vegetarian sandwich features tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and creamy basil sauce. Recipe yields 2 large (as shown) or 4 medium sandwiches.

Ingredients

1 baguette (16 ounces)
1 tablespoon thick balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze*
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ cups baby arugula
1 mozzarella ball (8 ounces)
2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
Flaky sea salt or kosher salt
Creamy Basil Sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the bread in half lengthwise, then stack it back together and slice it down the middle to form two large sandwiches, or again to make 4 small. Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing up. Bake for 5 minutes, or until warmed through and turning lightly golden around the edges.
2.  To assemble the sandwiches, lightly drizzle balsamic and olive oil over half of the cut sides of bread. Layer some arugula on top, then weigh it down with rounds of mozzarella. Top with the sliced tomato, then sprinkle the tomato lightly with flaky salt.
3. Spread the basil sauce generously over the cut side of the remaining slices of bread. Place them face down over the tomatoes. Enjoy.
