A classic Italian caprese salad is reinvented as bright-flavored panini…and it’s not just for vegetarians either. Sweet heirloom tomatoes and creamy, melted fresh mozzarella are accented by fresh basil and a hint of lemon zest and olive oil on a French baguette. The result is a satisfying medley of flavors that’s quick and easy to enjoy any day of the week.
1 serving
INGREDIENTS:
1 French baguette, halved lengthwise
2-3 fresh basil leaves

Lemon zest
2 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
