The Best Toasted Roast Beef Caprese Sandwich Recipe
Hungry? In just 15 minutes & 6 ingredients, you can make the best gourmet restaurant-style toasted hot roast beef Caprese sandwich recipe & bring a taste of Europe to your table.
Did you know we used to live in Europe? The husband used to be in the US Army and we were stationed in Germany for 3 years. I absolutely loved it there. But one thing I really struggled with since coming back to the USA is missing the food we’d enjoy over there.
Although I have yet to get our favorite foods exactly as they were in Europe, I have come close on a few different recipes. Europe processes their meats differently, and the bread is VERY different than what you get in the USA. But sometimes I can get close.
While we lived in Germany we took advantage of the opportunity to travel. You can bet we made a quick trip to Paris, France. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. While there we tried some sandwich shops for lunch. And boy oh boy, their food is amazing!
Today’s recipe is one of those “almost there” recipes! A tasty treat from the Paris, France region, that is also found in various other European areas. I’m not even sure of the authentic name, but it is DELICIOUS!
Why a Toasted Hot Roast Beef Caprese Sandwich?
I’ve searched all over the internet for what this is authentically called. I’ve asked friends, family, and associates who have traveled. No one knows for certain. BUT, I’ve found a few “close” sandwiches.
This tasty Toasted Hot Roast Beef Caprese Sandwich could be categorized as:
- Rinderbraten Sandwich

- Rezept Roastbeef-Sandwich
- Grilled Roast Beef Sandwich
- Toasted Roast Beef sandwich
- Sauerbraten sandwich

- Debris PoBoy
- hot roast beef sandwich

I could go on and on. This is so similar to all those types of Roast Beef Sandwiches, but yet still just enough different that it really doesn’t fit into any one category.
But no matter what you call it, one thing is certain; this Hot Roast Beef Caprese Sandwich will make your mouth sing!
