Tomatoes elevate sandwiches in every season. Need some ideas? This crusty sourdough filled with grilled tomatoes and mozzarella will have you improvising variations (with goat cheese? with pepper jack?). And, Jubilees are ideally sized for sandwiches so you won’t waste an ounce.

Serves 1

Ingredients
Unsalted butter, room temperature 2 Tbsp.
Sourdough bread, 4 slices
Fresh mozzarella, cut into ¼” slices ( 12 oz. )
Nature Sweet Jubilees tomato, 2 thinly sliced
Basil leaves , 1 bunch.
Garlic clove, peeled and cut in half

Method
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Arrange 4 slices, buttered side down, on a clean work surface. Divide cheese evenly among 4 slices of bread. Arrange tomato slices over cheese, cutting slices in half to fit, if necessary. Scatter basil leaves over tomatoes. Top with remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.

Place sandwiches on a medium-high griddle or sauté pan. Cook until bread is golden and cheese is beginning to melt, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on heat of the pan.

Turn sandwiches over, and continue cooking until bread is golden and cheese is completely melted.

Rub each exterior side of bread with the clove of garlic, and serve with a bowl of tomato soup.
