Grilled Caprese Sandwich Method

Made one last night on multi grain bread.
I lightly brushed olive oil on both sides of each slice of bread. I put fresh mozz on the bottom slice, drizzled some balsamic glaze on top, then some large basil leaves, then the tomatoes, peppered the tomatoes, put a little more glazed balsamic, then more slices of the mozz, then the bread. Olive oil works great for grilled cheese sandwiches if you're trying to avoid butter. I love butter smeared grilled cheese sandwiches, but olive oil is the way to go for this one.
Two thing I would do differently are:
1) let the tomato slices sit on paper towels for a bit before using them. They were a little too juicy.
2) Layer the basil leaves on both sides of the tomatoes. It needed a little more since I was eating it with bread and not as a salad even though I had a generous amount.
Darn good summer sandwich and nice use of the fresh tomatoes with which we will be blessed in the coming months. I used Liuzza's Creoles.

sounds legit
I used to make these all the time a few years ago with the tomatoes from the garden. I did mine on a Foreman grill though and it came out like a panini

Good tip. I would also add a little salt to take some of the moisture out they wer on the paper towels.

These things are awesome. Currently working on my second one of the morning. Only difference is I put some bacon on mine.
I had to make mine myself though on account of my sandwich maker is at the beach watching it rain.
