Grilled Caprese

Last night we scored another coup on the grill. I started by grilling fresh bread using a slightly modified french bread recipe. I sprayed the loaves with olive oil and cooked nested in aluminum foil on a cookie sheet for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees. We then split a loaf lengthwise and dressed with minced garlic and olive oil. I covered with homegrown tomato slices, scissor-cut fresh basil, and sliced fresh mozzarella. We grilled at 300 degrees for another 30 minutes and topped with fresh-ground pepper and another layer of basil. Yummy. The bread alone isn't bad either.

You will not regret it. We have eaten like kings this summer and not turned the oven on once.

Gosh, it's nice to see you again. I hope you can write a nice short story soon, maybe based around food. It would make an interesting change at the writing group.
