Peach Caprese Sandwich
Valentina P
This is the classic Italian combination of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil - with a spin. The addition of fragrant, ripe peaches add deliciously juicy summertime flavor. The natural sweetness of the fruit is well counterbalanced by the savory pesto, thickly sliced mozzarella, and fluffy bread. It's a deeply satisfying sandwich ready in only 10 minutes.
