Tomato, mozzarella, and basil are mouthwatering members of a classic Italian combination. Usually seen in caprese salads, SkinnyMs. has combined these ingredients in a savory panini. Whole wheat bread slices sandwich juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella cheese slices, and olive oil. The sandwich is then cooked and flattened until golden crisp, yielding creamy, melted cheese that pairs perfectly with bold basil and sweet tomatoes.
This lovely medley of flavors makes a perfect summer meal. It packs in satisfying protein and complex carbs for a must-needed afternoon energy boost. Although our panini is vegetarian-friendly, even your most devout carnivore friends will go wild over this flavorful sandwich!
