Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- If you'd like to eat the sandwich warm, place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Split the baguette in half horizontally. With your fingers, remove some of the inner bread from the top and the bottom so you have more room for the filling. Place cut sides up on the baking sheet (or a large work surface if not toasting the sandwich in the oven).
- In a small bowl, stir together the pesto and the yogurt. Spread all over the bottom of the baguette—it will be a generous layer. If you have a little extra, you can spread it on the top of the bread.
- Add the mozzarella slices, tomato slices, and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper. Top with the basil and any other desired toppings. Drizzle on the balsamic and a little olive oil. Add the top slice of bread and press down gently.
- Place the sandwich in the oven and let toast for 3 to 5 minutes to warm through. Slice and enjoy immediately.
