These sandwiches are my oldest daughter's favorite meal.  I first had them when my friend Kylee made them for a church activity.  I was pregnant at the time and could not stop thinking about them after I left the event.  I had to call and ask for her recipe.  I also happened to have a tomato plant that was doing well and a lot of fresh tomatoes to eat.  These sandwiches wound up being my pregnancy craving for my last child.  These sandwiches AND Chewy Jolly Rancher Sours candy lol.  A woman can crave more than one thing right lol. Photo credit to me.  I snapped a quick photo and glanced at it.  Seconds later the sandwiches were consumed and I realized it was a blurry photo!  I will replace it next time we eat these sandwiches.   Caprese Sandwiches Ingredients: Ciabatta Rolls Pesto Tomatoes Fresh Mozzarella Garlic Clove Instructions: Turn oven to broil Cut each ciabatta roll in half Lightly brush each half with olive oil Pu...
