Method

  1. Toast the artisan sandwich bread lightly (optional) for 1–2 minutes on each side, then set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Spread a generous layer of fresh homemade pesto on one side of each bread slice.

  3. Layer the fresh arugula evenly over the pesto, covering the surface completely.

  4. Place the softened burrata on top of the arugula, breaking it gently with a fork to create an even layer.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Burrata spreads into an even layer. Break it gently with a fork over the greens.

  5. Arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes over the burrata, overlapping them slightly for full coverage.

  6. Season the tomatoes with a pinch of red pepper flakes and flaky salt, adjusting to taste.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tomatoes are seasoned across the top. Season before adding the oil and glaze.

  7. Drizzle the extra‑virgin olive oil evenly over the tomato layer.

  8. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, creating a decorative swirl.

  9. Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, pesto side down, and press lightly to meld the ingredients.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Bread closes around the filling. Press lightly so the ingredients hold together.

  10. Slice the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling, then serve immediately.
