The Caprese sandwich is a beloved classic, known for its fresh and vibrant flavors. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make a gourmet version of the Caprese sandwich by adding creamy pesto made with Osmo's pesto sea salt.

To make the creamy pesto, combine the basil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, Osmo creamy pesto sea salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto is creamy and well combined. Set aside.
Preheat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat.
Brush the inside of each ciabatta roll with olive oil.
On the bottom half of each roll, spread a generous amount of creamy pesto.
Top with sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves.
Close the sandwiches with the top half of the ciabatta rolls.
Place the sandwiches on the panini press or grill pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
