Easy Peasy Caprese

Have you ever wanted to make a super simple sandwich that you can take to the beach, the park or to your new beau’s place? This is it. 8 minutes to put together, tops.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

1 whole baguette, sliced in half then again length-wise but not all the way through!
1 whole tomato, sliced 1/4 in thick
1 ball of fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/4 in thick
Olive oil
1 tbsp room temp butter
10 basil leaves
Salt and pepper

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Working with one half baguette at a time, take a half tbsp of butter and lather it on one side of the inside of the baguette. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper onto it. On top of the butter, layer some sliced mozzarella then layer on some sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle a little more salt and pepper along with a drizzle of olive oil. Add your basil leaves fold the baguette over onto itself. Do this same process with both halves of the baguette depending on how hungry you are 😂Cut the baguette in shareable pieces or eat it whole!

Pro tip: for easy transport, slide the sandwich back into the baguette bag it came in then into your favorite adventure bag.
