  • some cayenne pepper for sprinkling

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

quick, spicy – perfect for friends

Halve the rolls. It’s best to place them directly on an oven rack – lining them with parchment paper prevents burnt cheese. Preheat oven to 180°C – 200°C fan/convection oven. Distribute the cheese slices among the rolls, making sure they don’t overlap too much. Open the can of chopped tomatoes, empty the contents into a small bowl, and mix with the chopped fresh basil and a pinch of salt. Add the finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the mixture. Divide everything among the cheese-covered rolls, then top each with cheese – this time with sliced ​​mozzarella. Finish with a little cayenne pepper, which is then ground onto the mozzarella. This gives this quick dish the necessary heat, and it also browns the mozzarella beautifully. Place the rolls in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes (until the desired browning is achieved). Green salad is recommended as a side dish, and if you want the rolls even spicier, enjoy them with some sambal oelek.
