Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto
  • 2 slices of mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Spread Pesto: Spread sun-dried tomato pesto evenly on one side of each slice of bread to ensure every bite has rich flavor.
  2. Add Cheese: Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto-covered side of one bread slice, allowing the cheese to melt perfectly inside.
  3. Assemble Sandwich: Top the cheese slice with the second slice of bread, pesto side down, carefully aligning the edges.
  4. Heat Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and add butter, letting it melt and coat the pan evenly for that golden crust.
  5. Cook First Side: Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the mozzarella is fully melted.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add fresh basil leaves inside the sandwich before cooking.
  • Use your favorite type of bread, such as sourdough or multigrain, for a different taste and texture.
  • Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic, comforting pairing.
