Here's another pretty yummy recipe we have enjoyed of late. These little sandwiches make a great light meal or a tasty snack. You can blend up extra basil yogurt and it keeps well in the fridge.
1 1/2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 tsp.)
3 Tbs. nonfat plain yogurt (I like the brand FAGE it has lots of protein)
4 English muffins, split
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Blend basil, Parmesan cheese, olive oil and garlic in food processor or your really pathetic abused blender (like ours) until well combined. Add yogurt, and grind until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Preheat broiler. Place muffins on baking sheet. Broil 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Spread each half with basil mixture, and top with several tomato slices. Broil 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.

I have become completely obsessed with tomato basil sandwiches this summer. Landon and I hit the farmer's market on Saturday mornings and our favorite part of the day is when we come home and eat our delicious produce. We go with a simple tomato, chopped basil, fresh mozzarella on ciabatta-drizzled with a bit of olive oil for good measure. I'll have to try this recipe to mix things up.
Mmmm...I've been waiting for this recipe.
That sound so good!
My favorite sandwich of all is from Cosi up in DC it the TBM tomatoe, basil and mozzarella on their signature bread.....Mmmm!
I'll have to try it.
