This sandwich screams summer to me. I made it after going to the farmer's market and getting lots of fresh ingredients, including wonderful herbed ciabatta bread. If you don't like garlic much, just rub a clove on there (sliced to get the flavor. This is also delicious cold, or with a drizzle or balsamic vinegar on the tomato. For a slightly different (equally tasty, if you ask me) option, use havarti slices instead of mozzarella. Enjoy!

SERVES 2 , 2 sandwiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 ciabatta rolls (if you can find herbed GET IT!)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tomato, sliced
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
fresh basil
salt
pepper

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 400.
2
Slice the ciabatta to make a sandwich.
3
Drizzle olive oil on each of the 4 slices and sprinkle with garlic (or rub with a fresh sliced clove for a milder flavor)
4
Top with tomato slices, salt and pepper generously (drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar if you like).
5
Put mozzarella slices on top of the cheese and top those with fresh basil leaves.
6
Put the top pieces of ciabatta on and bake for about 5 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
7
Slice in half and eat!

I've made sandwiches just like this and they are delicious. A variation to this recipe is to marinade the fresh mozzarella cheese in balsamic vinegar for a day (or at least a few hours). Add a good quality prosciutto to the sandwich and drizzle a little olive oil over the tomatoes. Follow the recipe for everything else. This is to die for.
