TIPS FOR CAPRESE SANDWICH

  • Lightly toast the baguette before assembling the sandwich for extra flavour.
  • Use ripe, seasonal tomatoes and fresh basil for the best results.
  • A pinch of oregano or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper adds a zesty kick.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Protein: Include slices of grilled chicken or turkey for added protein.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free baguette or wrap for a gluten-free version.
  • Vegan Version: Swap mozzarella for a plant-based cheese and ensure the balsamic glaze is vegan-friendly.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store the sandwich in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the balsamic glaze just before eating to avoid sogginess.
  • Freezing: Not suitable for freezing due to the fresh ingredients like mozzarella and tomatoes.
