Place the tomatoes on the bread until the bread has been covered. Lightly salt the tomatoes.
Place the slices of mozzarella on the tomatoes.
Place the slice of bread with the pesto overtop the mozzarella and tomatoes.
Place your sandwich on a panini maker until all sides are crisp and golden brown. If you don't have a panini maker you can warm up a skillet on your stovetop and grill your sandwich that way.
