Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 slices white bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 6 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 piece tomato sliced
  • 0.5 teaspoon balsamic glaze
  • 0.25 cup pesto

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Pat your tomato slice with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Spread about 1 tablespoon of butter onto one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Place the mozzarella slices and tomato slices onto two unbuttered sides of the bread. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tomatoes.
  4. Spread the pesto onto the unbuttered sides of the last two slices. Place the bread slices onto the sandwiches with the pesto side down.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches into the pan and cook each side until the bread is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Notes

This sandwich pairs perfectly with a side salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal.
