Caprese Panini

One of my favorite kinds of sandwiches is a Caprese sandwich (tomato, mozzarella, and basil), or a slightly modified Caprese (replacing the basil with basil pesto). The sandwich is very good cold, but I tried making it out on my panini press and it was even more delicious!

The steps are very simple: butter one side of two slices of bread, and spread pesto on the other side. Place one slice of bread on the panini press, butter side down. Top with sliced tomato and fresh mozzarella, top with the other piece of bread (butter side up). Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the sandwich is warm and has brown grill marks on it. Simple, easy, delicious!
