Mozzarella and Sun-dried Tomato BitesFrom Italian Cooking and Living, August/September 2004
8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
8 slices fresh mozzarella (or substitute regular mozzarella)
12 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
2 bunches arugula, thoroughly cleaned and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
8 basil leaves, torn
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Spread each slice of bread with 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and top with a slice of mozzarella. In a bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and toss. Distribute the mixture among 4 of the bread slices, top with the other 4 slices, and press gently. Wrap the sandwiches in plastic, and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Unwrap, cut in half diagonally, and serve. Serves 4
