Fig and Mozzarella Warm Sandwich

By khoglan1

Ingredients

• 4 - 4 small loaves of bread (about 60 g each)
• - a ball of buffalo mozzarella
• 3 - 3 ripe figs
• 12 - 12 leaves of basil
• 4 - 4 tsp of thick pesto (a little less if very oily), such as this pesto de roquette
• - salt, pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).

Slice the loaves open. Slice the mozzarella. Wash and quarter the figs. Rinse and pat dry the basil leaves. Spread the top half of each loaf with a teaspoon of pesto. On the bottom half of each loaf, lay a fourth of the mozzarella. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add three fig quarters and three basil leaves. Put the tops back on.

Transfer the sandwiches into a baking dish, and put it into the oven for about ten minutes, until they are heated through and the bread starts to get crispy. Let rest on the counter for a couple of minutes, and serve.
