  • Cook Time:  0 min

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons basil pesto, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 (4-inch) focaccia squares, sliced in half (we also love using ciabatta or baguette)
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 2 roma tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 12 large fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze, for serving
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzle

  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine the pesto and mayonnaise.
  2. Spread the pesto mayonnaise on each of the cut sides of the bread, then evenly top half of the bread slices with mozzarella, tomatoes, arugula, and basil. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with the remaining bread and serve.
