Grilled Caprese Sandwich

Caprese sandwich is classic Italian vegetarian sandwich – made from pesto sauce, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, balsamic glaze, seasoned with fresh ground pepper and salt. This sandwich is rich and full of flavors - crunchy, gooey, tangy and sweet. But at the same time this is very easy and quick recipe for your perfect breakfast or brunch. I like my caprese sandwich with sour dough bread but you can choose your choice of bread. I always add arugula for extra green which is optional, but if its handy do add arugula. Give it a try folks and I am sure it will your favorite sandwich too!!!
