INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tablespoons light balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 4 tsp light butter (½ tsp for each bread slice)
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup low moisture, part-skim, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 tomato slices
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (or to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place tomato slices onto baking sheet. Drizzle balsamic vinegar, sea salt and pepper over tomatoes. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread ½ tsp light butter on one side of all 8 slices of bread. Sprinkle ½ tablespoon Parmesan cheese over 4 slices of bread on the buttered side. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the Parmesan cheese into the butter.
- When tomatoes come out of the oven, set aside and lightly coat 2 large skillets with nonstick cooking spray and set to medium-low heat. Put the 4 slices of bread with Parmesan butter side down in the heated skillets (2 in one pan, 2 in the other).
- Pile ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese onto the bread. Add 3 tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of basil. Top with plain slices of bread, butter side up, so that you have 4 sandwiches. Cook until Parmesan side is golden brown.
- Flip the 4 sandwiches and cover both skillets with lids until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.
- Remove from skillet, cut each sandwich in half and plate. Drizzle optional light balsamic vinegar on tops.
