I have always loved caprese salad. The fresh flavors are just amazing. And grilled cheese is one of my favorite things to have for lunch, so I decided to combine the two. I used provolone cheese instead of the typical fresh mozzarella but this sandwich is so delish, I have had it a few times this week and thought I would share the love!
Caprese Grilled Cheese
2 slices sourdough bread
2 slices provolone cheese
4 leaves fresh basil, sliced thin
4 slices fresh Roma tomatoes
Balsamic vinegar and olive oil - for dipping
Assemble sandwich with cheese, tomato, and basil. Butter the outside of the bread and grill on a hot griddle until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden. ( Placing a lid over the sandwich as it cooks helps the cheese to melt without burning the bread). Mix balsamic vinegar and oil together to dip the grilled cheese in!
I make this sandwich all the time! But I spread honey on one of the bread slices. Try it. It'll blow your mind. I don't know if the honey would clash with the dip, though.

I just found your blog and look forward to reading it and trying some of your recipes. I saw this grilled cheese and thought it would be perfect to make for my teen boys. They like rich food with a fresh or healthy spin. I look forward to trying this soon. Also, I wanted to comment on the cool basil plant in water. I've been looking for a plant to put in water that isn't toxic to my cat. When I saw your basil I thought yes! The grocery store across the street has basil plants too how perfect. I'm off to get one! Thanks for sharing that awesome idea.
