My social media feed has been full of varieties of fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil, balsamic glaze and breads. Sometimes it shows fresh peaches, sometimes it shows prosciutto, sometimes they also use brie. Sometimes it's a dip or a sandwich or a tooth-picked appetizer... So many yummy suggestions!!
I don't want to forget this one, so here you go!
I bought a loaf of sourdough (from Sam's Club- inexpensive and yummy!) fresh mozzarella (happy to discover it was already sliced), beefsteak tomatoes, and some fresh basil. I also bought prosciutto and fresh peaches, but those weren't part of the first plan. Then the prosciutto was suggested and I still forgot to pull it out.
My husband did a balsamic glaze, according to The Pioneer Woman blog HERE.
I put all the slices of bread on the pampered chef baking stone (circa 2000- not dishwasher safe!) and drizzled some olive oil on the top side. Then I broiled it in the oven for about three minutes.
That single slice was cut in half for my kiddo. To the toasted side, I added fresh sliced beef steak tomato, then fresh mozzarella, then topped it with the other half of the bread.
Below is my husband's dinner.
It was SO good!!
It went in the air fryer for four minutes, at 400*. (ours has a pull out basket)
For the half sandwich, I added just a few drops of the balsamic vinegar glaze, and just a little bit of torn fresh basil leaves.

My husband said it would have been even better with the prosciutto, he really wanted that hit of salt. Honestly, it could have stood a bit of freshly ground black pepper, so why not salt too? But it was so yummy and I am glad that was our dinner tonight!
My kiddo asked if we could have pancakes next time. hahaha!
