Starbucks Tomato and Mozzarella on Focaccia

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 Roma tomatoes (cut into 1/4-inch slices)

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 loaf focaccia or ciabatta bread (16 ounces)

2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto

1 ounce fresh baby spinach

8 ounces fresh mozzarella (sliced)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place the tomato slices on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes.

If you are using a single loaf of bread, slice it in half vertically to create 2 sandwich buns about 6 to 8 inches long. Then slice each bun in half horizontally.

Spread pesto on the bottom bun of each sandwich. Add enough baby spinach leaves to cover the bread in a single layer. Arrange 4 or 5 tomato slices over the spinach, followed by 3 slices of fresh mozzarella. Cover the sandwiches with the top buns.

Place the sandwiches in the oven until heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure the sandwiches aren’t too close to the heating element, and watch closely to make sure the bread does not burn.
