Life is busy. WICKED busy. That’s why it’s important to make dinner dates with your gal pals any chance you get. And when my gal pals and I get together, we go to The Met Bar – and like, 90% of us order the Met Caprese Club Sandwich – fried eggplant – mozzarella – tomato – pesto – arugula – ciabatta. And obviously, we swap out the lame chips for fries.
There’s a reason we’re friends.
Last week I made the Met Caprese Club sammie at home for dinner – sans the sammie – and the arugula. Even Dave liked them – and there weren’t even fries! You’ll see in the instructions that I did this a little differently, not baking the tomato with the eggplant/pesto/cheese, but adding it at the end. And that is because I am a person who LOVES tomatoes, but has weird temperature issues with them. This is a result of that. But, if you are partial to the temp of your tomatoes, you can certainly stack ‘em all and toss ‘em in the oven.
Get stackin’ kids.
