How to Make Smoked Mozzarella Sandwiches With Tomatoes Two Ways

  1. Place sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 10 minutes to rehydrate.

  4. Whisk in the olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  5. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives to the garlic-oil mixture. Stir well to combine.
  6. Spread the sun-dried tomato tapenade evenly over two slices of bread.
  7. Arrange the smoked mozzarella slices on top of the tapenade.
  8. Season the mozzarella with freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Top with the tomato slices and season with salt and balsamic vinegar.
  10. Add several basil leaves to each sandwich.
  11. Top with the remaining bread slices.
  12. Optional: You can lightly toast the sandwiches in a pan or panini press for a warm, crispy exterior (approximately 2-3 minutes per side).
