2nd Try : The day after the 1st try since I still have some leftover tomato soup. This time, I cut some corners again to make it more "sustainable" for the lazy-ass me. Used the toaster oven to grill the sandwich instead. No need to wash the skillet after use. 😜
Ingredients:
4 pcs sliced bread (bought my multi-grain bread from Rustans for P75/loaf)
250 g mozzarella cheese
150 g cheddar cheese (quick-melt variety is recommended)
12 pcs basil leaves, medium sized (some for sandwich and some for soup)
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sugar
1 can peeled tomato (Molinera brand is the cheapest at P48/can)
1 tbsp dried minced garlic
1/2 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp olive oil
1/3 tsp salt
Soup
Step #1 : Pour canned peeled tomato into sauce pan over medium heat for 5 mins. Mash the peeled tomato while stirring.
Step #2 : Add in olive oil, 6 basil leaves, dried oregano, dried minced garlic, salt and sugar and keep cooking for 10 mins. While waiting for soup to cook, start making the sandwich.
Sandwich
Step #1 : Put sliced mozzarella on bread then top with 3 pcs basil leaves per sandwich and then cheddar cheese slices on top of the basil. At this point, you only have an open-faced sandwich.
Step #2 : Put the open-faced sandwich into the toaster oven and toast for 5 mins on high heat.
Step #3 : Drizzle 1/2 tbsp of honey on top of slightly melted cheese then put on the top slice of bread. Toast the sandwich for another 5 mins on medium heat or until top slice of bread gets toasted brown.
Voila! You have just made a hearty vegetarian meal to rival those served in gastro pubs and bistros. All under 30 minutes! I bet this is going to become your staple comfort food too.
