Quick Steps ✨

Prep your sandwich ingredients: slice mozzarella, tomato, and chop sun-dried tomatoes.

Layer mozzarella, tomatoes, and arugula between slices of bread.

Brush the outside with olive oil and grill in a pan until golden brown.

Flip and cook the other side until the cheese is melty.

Slice in half and serve hot!

Step by Step Instructions 📝

1. Prepare your ingredients: Start by slicing the mozzarella cheese and fresh tomatoes. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces, and rinse and dry the arugula.

2. Assemble the sandwich: On one slice of sourdough bread, layer the mozzarella cheese first, followed by the tomato slices, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and a handful of arugula. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Top it off with the second slice of bread.

3. Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the outside of both slices of bread with olive oil. This will help the sandwich get a golden, crispy crust when grilled.

4. Grill the sandwich: Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and press it down slightly with a spatula. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

5. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is crispy on both sides. Remove from the pan, let it cool for a moment, then slice in half and serve immediately!

Store leftover sandwiches in the fridge for up to a day. To reheat, place in a warm pan for a couple of minutes on each side. Avoid microwaving to keep the bread crisp!
