Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole wheat bread or the bread of your choosing
  • 1 tablespoon mayo (or more or less to your liking)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons basil peso
  • 1 roma tomato, sliced
  • 1.5-2 oz mozzarella, sliced
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Spread the pesto on one slice of bread.
  • Spread the mayonnaise on the other slice of bread.
  • 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. 
  • Serve immediately!
