Roasted Tomato Caprese Grilled Cheese

This recipe for roasted tomato caprese grilled cheese isn’t your typical grilled cheese. It’s like a caprese salad in between two pieces of artisan bread! Drizzled with sweet balsamic glaze!

Roasted tomato caprese grilled cheese is a nice and easy gourmet grilled cheese recipe, if you will. It is loaded with fresh mozzarella, oven roasted tomatoes and fresh basil, then drizzled with sweet balsamic glaze.

You can use whichever type of bread you’d like, but the best bread to use is an artisan type bread. I actually baked my own bread. Heres the recipe I followed if you’d like to try it out! https://sweetsimplevegan.com/2020/02/4-ingredient-no-knead-bread/

This grilled cheese is by no means clean to eat. I mean, just look at it! Expect your hands to get a little messy. But thats ok! Totally worth it…

Sometimes looks aren’t everything when it comes to food. The taste is what matters the most. To me at least.

If you make this recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I would love to hear your feedback! Make sure to leave me a comment and star rating of the recipe!
