Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • ½ ball of fresh mozzarella, sliced or 65 g grated mozzarella
  • ½ beef tomato 1 tbsp salted butter, softened
  • ½ tbsp pesto
  • Fresh basil
  • Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Slice the beef tomato into 2 cm thick slices and pick the basil leaves from the stem. Season the tomato with the salt and pepper.
  2. On a bread board, lay out one slice of sourdough. Spread the pesto onto the bread and add the seasoned tomato, basil leaves and mozzarella. Add the other slice of bread on top.
  3. Use a plate or chopping board to press down lightly onto the sandwich, keeping the fillings in place. Spread half of the butter onto the top layer of bread.
  4. Place the sandwich onto the crisper tray in the small container and place the CrisperHub on top. Press ‘MENU’ until ‘ULTRA CRISP’ illuminates. Set the time to 10 minutes and press ‘START’ to begin cooking.
  5. After 5 minutes, remove the CrisperHub and use a spatula or heat-resistant tongs to remove the sandwich. Carefully flip the sandwich over and spread the remaining butter onto the top slice of bread.
  6. Return the sandwich to the cooking container and place the CrisperHub back on top to resume cooking.
  7. Once the timer has finished, remove the sandwich and serve with a side salad or a warm bowl of your favourite soup.

…enjoy!
