Step:
Melt the butter or heat the grill pan and drizzle some olive oil to toast the sandwich
Slit the bread from the center into two halves
Slice the cheese into rings
Drizzle some olive oil on the base slice
Add 2-3 rings of mozzarella cheese
Add the tomtoes and rocket leaves
Add a pinch of salt and crushed black pepper to season
Cover with the other slice
Press gently and add the sandwich to be grilled on both sides on the hot grill pan
Take off heat once done and serve immediately
Tip: traditionally a panini pan is used to grill the sandwiches, but this sandwich being versatile, can be made on any grill pan too
Tip: for a non vegetarian version, use slices of baked salmon/minced and boiled chicken/canned tuna, etc as a filling. The tomatoes and arugula form the Essence of the sandwich along with the fresh mozzarella
Enjoy!
