People beg me to make these sandwiches. Its a great way to use extra tomatoes from your garden. Some grocery stores carry green tomatoes year round. This is my very favorite sandwich ever. The fresh mozzarella cheese can be substituted with regular mozzarella but it wont be a yummy! You can also use Tempeh Bacon.
