On a griddle set to 325°F or in a skillet over medium heat, sprinkle a little olive oil.

Place the tomato slices into the oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Cook the tomato slices for 1 minute, then flip them.

Season the other side with salt and pepper.

Remove from heat promptly to avoid overcooking.

Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

On one slice of bread, layer half of the Mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked tomato slices and fresh basil leaves.

Add the remaining Mozzarella cheese on top of the basil leaves, then cover with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

Cook the sandwich at 325°F for four minutes on each side.

Be cautious while flipping to prevent sliding.

Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of this Caprese-inspired creation!
