Instructions

  1. Bread: If using focaccia, cut it hamburger style to make a bottom and top of your sandwich. Spread butter or mayonnaise onto the outside pieces.
  2. Assemble: Build two sandwiches by layering pesto, mozzarella, tomato, spinach, more mozzarella, and more pesto.
  3. Cook: Cook over medium heat in a large skillet or panini press until the outsides are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: This sandwich is best enjoyed right away. Otherwise, you can store it for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat it on the stove until warmed through.
