A great caprese is less a recipe than a ratio: ripe tomato, creamy mozzarella, fresh basil, and bread worth building on. Here's our five-minute go-to caprese sandwich plus three ways to level it up.

Directions

  1. Toast 2 slices of bread (we love Multigrain for this one!).
  2. Spread pesto on one slice.
  3. Add sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, salt and pepper.
  4. That's it!

Three Ways to Elevate

  1. 🔥 Sweet Heat -- Add fresh peaches and drizzle of hot honey
  2. 🫒 Punchy -- A spoonful of tapenade or sun-dried tomatoes
  3. 🤍 Creamy -- Spread burrata on both sides and a pinch of chili flakes and oregano
