Ingredients

  • ½ lb roma tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 5-6 basil leaves
  • 2 eggs
  • 3-4 oz mozzarella
  • 4 pieces of bread (I really love sourdough for this)
  • olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400˚.
  • Slice roma tomatoes in half and toss with olive oil and salt. Place on a covered baking tray and roast for 40-50 minutes. Tomatoes should be soft and beginning to brown.
  • In a food processor, add clove of garlic and pulse until minced. Add in roasted tomatoes and basil. Pulse until mixture is spreadable.
  • In a skillet, cook eggs. For a sandwich I usually prefer a fried egg with the yolk broken but scrambled would work just as well (or for an even messier sandwich, over-easy.)
  • Lightly brush olive oil on outside parts of bread and assemble sandwich with cheese, spread, and egg (I usually do cheese on the outside edge and spread/eggs on the inside. Cook over medium-low in a skillet until cheese is melted and outsides are toasted, 10-15 minutes.
