Piedmont Caprese Sandwich

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: brioche buns, cheddar, mayonnaise and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the caprese and let it sun-dried-tomato, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the raisins and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the white wine and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with toasted nuts and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
