Instructions
- Butter one side of two slices of sourdough. Place one of the slices of bread in a skillet over medium heat.
- Layer with sliced mozzarella, then a thin spread of pesto, then sliced tomatoes. I also like to salt and pepper my tomatoes.
- Put on the top slice of bread and grill both sides until toasty.
- Remove to a plate and open the sandwich to add the arugula tossed in some balsamic. Put sandwich back together and enjoy!
Notes
- These Margherita sandwiches contain some of my favorite ingredients, the thick sliced mozzarella, arugula, and pesto combine to make an unforgettable sandwich! But this sandwich tastes best fresh, not placed in the refrigerator and saved for later. Something about the magic of the skillet and the cheese.. Enjoy!
