Ingredients
Scale
- 8 thick slices sourdough bread
- 3 balls fresh mozzarella (125g each), sliced thinly
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 4 tablespoons pesto
- Butter, as needed
Instructions
- Slice and gently dry fresh mozzarella to prevent sogginess.
- Assemble the sandwiches by buttering one side of each slice of sourdough. Layer mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto on the unbuttered side before topping with another slice of bread.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place sandwiches in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes), then flip.
- Once both sides are crispy and cheese is melted, remove from skillet, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.
