Preparation

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Slice the ripe tomatoes into thin rounds and set aside.

2. Slice the Cheese

Drain the fresh mozzarella and slice it into round pieces, each about 1/4 inch thick.

Assembly

3. Spread Pesto

Take one slice of sourdough bread and spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto evenly over one side.

4. Layer Ingredients

On top of the pesto, layer the sliced fresh mozzarella followed by the tomato slices. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the prepared sandwich and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
