Directions:
- Heat up your panini press. If you don't have one, easy! Simply heat up a skillet to about medium heat. Spray a little vegetable cooking spray on each side or just brush some vegetable oil on it.
- Use good bread, like a nice italian bread or slice a couple slices of a semolina batard.
- Use about 2 tbsp of pesto sauce and spread one on one side of each slice of bread. I recommend Classico's Pesto with Basil. If you have time on your hands, you can simply make you own with a recipe from !
- If desired, sprinkle some salt on the pesto.
- Cut about an ounce of fresh mozzarella. I recommend BelGioioso Cheese, which I buy at BJ's 4 small balls of mutz for $10. Pricey but delicious! For that brand, a good estimation is 2 medium sized slices from one ball. Just rip them apart with your hands after they were sliced and place them on one slice of bread.
- Sammy them up and place it on a panini press for 2 minutes, give or take. Depending on how thick the bread is and how much mutz used, it could take longer as the cheese might not be fully melted sometimes after 2 minutes.
- If you're using a skillet, you would place the sammy on the skillet, and use another skillet and a weight to put on top of the sammy. Make sure the other skillet is clean! keep that pressed for 1-2 minutes, then flip to the other side and do it again!
- You can add anything to this panini really. Tomatoes are especially delicious, but anything goes here!
