Sandwich

Ingredients
500	g	Yellow and red cherry tomatoes
2		Garlic cloves
2	balls	Mozzarella
4	slice(s)	Wheat sourdough bread
1/2	packet	Rocket, approx. 80-100 g (washed)
		Salt
		Olive oil
		Chili flakes

Preheat the oven to the highest convection broil setting.
Spread the tomatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub with grated garlic, season generously with salt, and drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Place directly under the broiler for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tomatoes burst and the skin is nicely singed. Let cool slightly.
Slice the mozzarella thickly and layer it generously over two slices of bread. Spoon the roasted tomatoes on top and season with red pepper flakes to taste.
Toss the arugula in the tomato pan juices, then pile it onto the toast.
Top with the remaining slices of bread and grill in a panini press or sandwich maker for about 5 to 7 minutes, until crisp and golden.
Slice in half and serve immediately.
