I was recently at Deli Lane in South Miami. They do have a gluten free item of the day, and they have great omlets & salads, which are served all day…… Anyway, I digress…. While there I saw a Caprese sandwich on the menu and since then I’ve been dreaming of the perfect Caprese Sandwich! Gluten Free, of course. The recipe works for the gluten eaters, as well….but with the French bread by Udi’s (www.udisglutenfree.com), you’re not going to know the difference!
So, here’s what you need:
French bread (I use Udi’s)
Organic tomatos 1-2
Mozzarella
Balsamic glaze
Pesto: in processor combine-
Fresh Basil- handful
Pine nuts 1/4c
Olive oil 1/4 c
Chopped garlic 1t
1t Salt, pepper to taste, red pepper flakes 1t
Slice and toast the bread at 400 for 8 minutes. Liberally, smear on the pesto- top & bottom. Slice the mozzarella & tomato, layer onto sandwich. Top with balsamic glaze and a little basil. I served with Ore-Ida crowns (www.oreida.com).
Phew! Done! Beautiful, delicious and satisfying! So colorful, they would make a great party platter! One thing is for sure…..I’m making these again! I hope you give it a try & enjoy! Make it a great night!
