  • 1/2 cup basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
  • 4 slices bread (ciabatta, sourdough, or whole grain)
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (optional, adds a nice tang)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet.
  • Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, and the cheese is melted.
