Pie irons are a traditional way of cooking over the campfire, and this sandwich recipe brings the classic Caprese flavors of tomato, mozzarella, and basil to the forefront.
Butter both slices of bread then place butter side down (to touch the pie iron and toast the bread) in the pie iron.
Place the tomato slices, the mozzarella cheese, and then the basil leaves on one slice of the bread. Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze.
Place the second piece of bread on top, then place the sandwich in the pie iron.
Place the pie iron over the campfire. To get the best result select a spot over the coals that isn’t too hot so that the cheese in the center has the time to melt without over-browning the bread.
Turn after 3 minutes then cook the other side for 2 minutes.
Serve while warm, if too hot the cheese could burn your mouth.
