Caprese dagwood sandwiches
Caprese Dagwood Sandwiches
This sandwich is more of an idea that I’d love for you to take and run with than a recipe with hard and fast ingredients. I’m listing what I used below, but you should add/subtract as you see fit. And while I didn’t go the full dagwood in these photos and pile the layers on super-high (although this sandwich was still pretty thick, let me tell you), you should absolutely do so if the spirit moves you. Toasting the bread will help keep the moisture factor under control.
I’m also including my quick-and-dirty recipe for balsamic mayo. Totally lovely on this sandwich.
Ingredients:
Slices of bread, toasted
Balsamic mayo (recipe below)
Hearty, flavorful tomatoes, sliced to your preferred thickness (place the slices on a paper towel for few minutes to absorb some of their liquids)
Fresh mozzarella, sliced to your preferred thickness
Fresh basil leaves – lots of ‘em
Pickles (like these ginger spiced pickles)
Bacon (or veggie substitute)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Slather the slices of bread with the mayo. Then start the layering.
Balsamic Mayo
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons mayo
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 or 3 medium basil leaves, minced
dash of salt
Instructions:
Whisk the ingredients together until well mixed. Schmear on bread and smile big.
Hello, and welcome to SoupAddict, my little corner of the foodie world on the Interwebs. I'm Karen, and it's true, I'm addicted to soup. The seasons guide my cooking and eating, and when I'm not behind the stove — or the keyboard: I'm a writer by trade — you can find me in my vegetable garden. 
I’m going to have to try those ginger pickles. The refrigerator type are the only kind I make so thanks for including that link. And the sandwich ideas, well, just nummmmm! I love Caprese anything.

I have to tell you, I made those gingered pickles and Yum… They are definitely sandwich worthy.
The temperatures have been dropping into the 30′s & 40′s here overnight, so my baking bug is starting to come back. Yea, bread! Yea, cake! Yea, casseroles!
