Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette in half or use two slices of sourdough per sandwich. Toast your bread if you prefer!
- Assemble: Spread pesto on one side of each piece of bread. Layer sliced tomatoes and vegan mozzarella on one side. Sprinkle with black pepper if desired.
- Finish: Top with the other slice of bread.
- Serve: Slice each sandwich in half and enjoy!
Notes:
Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Out-of-season tomatoes can be roasted briefly to concentrate their flavor.
Fresh basil wilts quickly when in contact with tomatoes — assemble the sandwich as close to eating time as possible.
Tips:
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic reduction over the assembled sandwich for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage:
Best eaten immediately. Keep components separate if preparing ahead and assemble just before eating.
Swaps:
Vegan mozzarella can be swapped for avocado slices or hummus for a different creamy element. Any crusty bread works well.
