There’s something timeless about a Caprese sandwich. Fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, crisp basil, and that perfect balsamic drizzle. It’s one of those easy sandwich recipes you rarely see people make, even though it’s simple and full of flavor.
Growing up, this was one of my all-time favorites. I’d use whatever bread was around, layer mozzarella and tomatoes, and always finish it with olive oil and balsamic. Every time I make it now, it brings back those same cozy, nostalgic vibes. It’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon, especially after a smoke sesh and before diving into a good read.
