Notes

For a more intense flavor, you can marinate the cherry tomatoes overnight with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, herbs, and spices.
This sandwich pairs beautifully with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
If you want a toasted version, grill or panini press the assembled sandwiches for a few minutes until the bread is crispy and the cheese is slightly melted. Adjust cooking time as needed.
