Grilled Margherita Sandwiches

Well, it's that time of year, tomatoes are starting to come fast and furious from Mom's garden.  I think this will be yummy.

1/4 C. lower sodium marinara
8 slices whole grain bread
4oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, cut into 8 thin slices
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
12 large basil leaves
Cooking spray
1 tbsp. olive oil, divded

Spread 1 tbsp. marinara over 1 side of each of 4 bread slices.  Top evenly with cheese and tomato.  Sprinkly tomatoes evenly with pepper and salt.  Top tomatoes with basil and remaining bread slices.  Lightly coat sandwiches with cooking spray.

Heat a large skillet over medium low heat.  Add 1 1/2 tsp. oil to pan; swirl to coat.  Add sandwiches to pan; cook 2 1/2 minutes or until browned.  Brush tops evenly with remaining oil.  Turn sandwiches over; cook 2 minutes or until browned.  Serve immediately.
