This amazing caprese-style tomato pesto ciabatta sandwich, which I also love to call leveled-up bruschetta, is an addictive fresh, oily, salty, slightly sweet, but most importantly, rich flavor sandwich recipe. It`s the perfect lunch recipe because it is made very quickly and is perfect for preparing to take with you to work, although it tastes warm best.

tips on how to make the perfect tomato pesto ciabatta sandwich

  1. Use delicious, high-quality ciabatta bread.
  2. Use fresh and high-quality basil pesto
  3. Use high-quality Mozzarella cheese- it makes a big difference.
  4. If you want to level up the sandwich, add prosciutto and arugula - so good.

how to store the tomato pesto ciabatta sandwich

The caprese-style sandwich can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for two days. I recommend reheating before eating it to get the best experience. This sandwich is the perfect meal prep lunch sandwich recipe as it is quickly made, you can prepare in the morning or the night before, and it can be eaten cold, even though I recommend reheating it.
