RECIPE DECISION NOTES
Is this the right meal for today?
This is an assembled tomato-and-mozzarella sandwich rather than a cooked cheese sauce. Choose it when you have fresh produce and want a lunch with little equipment beyond a toaster or skillet.
Plan the method before you start
Tomato moisture can soften bread, so assemble close to serving. The vegetarian label depends on vegetarian-rennet mozzarella; the cheese name alone does not confirm that detail.
