- Top the bread with sliced mozzarella, then spread the basil pesto (2 tsp) roughly over the cheese.4-8 slices fresh mozzarella, 2 teaspoon basil pesto
- Top with sliced tomato and season with salt and pepper, then top with an additional layer of sliced mozzarella if using.4-6 slices tomato, salt and pepper
- Place second slice of buttered bread on top, butter-side up.
- Place the second slice of prosciutto over the top of the sandwich, then fold the ends of prosciutto over each other to enclose.
- Heat a panini press, then grill sandwich until cheese has melted and the prosciutto is crisp.
Notes
- I like to put a second layer of mozzarella on my sandwich, but you could go for just one!
- You can use store-bought basil pesto, or you can make your own pesto with my basil pesto recipe. If you make your own, you won't go back!
