My Favorite Sandwich

After having a caprese panini at our favorite coffee shop  awhile back, I decided that I should try to make one at home. I acquired a rather large basil plant last week, and we've been enjoying them ever since. Very simple, very fresh, and very yummy. The recipe is just layering fresh mozzarella, tomato (sliced thin), and some basil leaves (chiffonade) on a ciabatta roll. Rub both sides with butter and grill, pressing it down so everything gets mushed together. It is the perfect summer dinner.

That looks very good. How soon are you coming back to Texas? Also, thank you for teaching me the word chiffonade.

I guess I'll come there... eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later. (Dad)
