- 1 garlic clove halved
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 3-4 ounces of fresh mozzarella sliced in thin slices
- 1 medium tomato sliced
- 3-4 sundried tomatoes rinsed and sliced in half
- A few leaves of fresh oregano
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Start by rubbing the bread with a halved garlic clove and then brush the bread with olive oil, making sure the outer side (the side that touches the pan) is well coated.
- Drizzle some red wine vinegar on the inner side of each slice.
- Layer about 2/3 of the sliced mozzarella, then layer the tomatoes and sprinkle with some kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil over the tomatoes.
- Add a few leaves of fresh oregano and then add the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Finish with 3 thin slices of mozzarella, and cover with the second slice of bread.
- Heat a pan on medium heat and place the sandwich on the pan, cover, and grill for about 3 minutes until the one side becomes golden and crispy. Turn over and press the sandwich with another pan for about 30 seconds. Release and continue to grill for 3 more minutes.
- Remove from pan, slice in half, and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Best to use one-day old bread, if you use fresh bread, toast it slightly on a pan.
After straining the grated tomato, save the juice and use it as a broth or drink it!
