  • Heat a large pan/skillet or over medium-low heat. (Or to cook more than one at once you can cook on a large electric griddle heated to medium-low.)
  • Butter all of slices of bread on one of the sides, spread just enough for a light coat of butter over the one side, the butter sides will be the outside of the sandwich.
  • On the non butter sides spread about 1 teaspoon of pesto evenly over all of the slices of bread, the amount you will use will depend on the size of your bread. You don't want to oversaturate your bread with the pesto, a thin even spread works best here.
  • Carefully cut even slices of the mozzarella, you will want about 2 slices per sandwich (or 8 slices in total) If your bread is bigger/smaller you may have to adjust the amount of slices that go on your sandwich, make sure that the cheese covers most of the slice of bread but it will melt and spread out a bit so full coverage is not necessary.
