Instructions

Butter each slice of bread on one side, all the way to the edges then set aside.
Place one slice of prosciutto onto your work surface, then place one slice of buttered bread on top - butter-side down.
Top the bread with sliced mozzarella, then spread the basil pesto (2 tsp) roughly over the cheese.
Top with sliced tomato and season with salt and pepper, then top with an additional layer of sliced mozzarella if using.
Place second slice of buttered bread on top, butter-side up.
Place the second slice of prosciutto over the top of the sandwich, then fold the ends of prosciutto over each other to enclose.
Heat a panini press, then grill sandwich until cheese has melted and the prosciutto is crisp.

Notes

*Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
I like to put a second layer of mozzarella on my sandwich, but you could go for just one!
You can use store-bought basil pesto, or you can make your own pesto with my basil pesto recipe. If you make your own, you won't go back!
