directions

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • In a small bowl, add the hot water over the tomatoes and let sit for 15 minutes; drain tomatoes and pat dry; finely chop the tomatoes.
  • In the same bowl, toss together the tomatoes, mozzarella, lemon zest, basil, and pepper.
  • To make the sandwich: brush one side of each slice of bread with the oil.
  • Place 4 slices on a work surface, oiled side down.
  • Distribute the mozzarella mixture evenly over the 4 slices.
  • Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, oiled side up; press gently to compress the sandwiches.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over med-high heat for 2 minutes.
  • Put the sandwiches in the skillet in batches if necessary, cover, and cook for 2 minutes or until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese has started to melt.
  • Uncover, and turn the sandwiches using a spatula, pressing firmly to flatten them slightly.
  • Cook for 1 minute, or until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.
  • Sprinkle the parmesan over the tops of the sandwiches and transfer skillet to the broiler.
  • Watching carefully, broil until the cheese bubbles and browns lightly (30 seconds to 1 minute); serve immediately.
