Caprese toastie with mozzarella, tomato and pesto
An Italian toastie made with protein bread, mozzarella, tomato and pesto. A rich Phase 4 lunch with plenty of protein and a creamy filling.
You make this caprese toastie with Bioteïne Protein Bread, which provides a crispy crust around the melting mozzarella. The protein bread is low-carb, so the focus is on the flavourful filling.
With mozzarella, tomato and a spoonful of pesto, this toastie reaches the richer Phase 4 level. The combination provides plenty of protein and a satisfying, savoury lunch.
Serving tip: let the toastie rest for a minute after cooking so the mozzarella firms up slightly and doesn't run out.
