The Italian Love Sammich

Total Time: 24 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 14 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 10 ounces focaccia bread, sliced in half lengthwise (i used roasted garlic and onion flavor)
• 3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 5 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto
• 2 roma tomatoes
• 6 big fresh basil leaves
• red wine vinegar
• olive oil (the best you can afford)

Recipe

• 1 take the slices of focaccia and toast them slightly in a 375 degree oven; about 5 minutes.
• 2 while the bread is toasting, slice your tomatoes and mozzerella, you want thin slices.
• 3 remove the bread from the oven.
• 4 top one side with slices of proscuitto, cheese, tomato and finally basil leaves.
• 5 sprinkle a tiny bit of red wine vinegar and olive oil and the other piece of bread, on the side that will be facing towards the toppings; just a little bit, you don't want it soggy.
• 6 put both slices together and with your hands (or a brush), rub a bit of olive oil on the outside of each slice.
• 7 place on a hot grill for about 2 minutes on each side.
• 8 i used my george foreman grill for that step and it worked fabulously!
• 9 remove from the grill, wrap in foil and place in the oven (still at 375) for about 7 minutes.
• 10 remove, unwrap, slice in half and enjoy.
• 11 suggested sides: a really good pickle spear, olive salad, gourmet chips, a leafy green salad or whatever you enjoy with your favorite sammich.
