Toasted caprese sandwich

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

8 slices wholewheat bread
4 T basil pesto
2 tomatoes, sliced
200 g mozzarella, sliced
4 T butter

Method

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Spread 1 T basil pesto each onto 4 slices bread. Layer the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella on the bread and sandwich.
Melt 1 T butter in a hot pan and place a sandwich in the pan. Toast on both sides until golden brown and the cheese has melted, pressing down with the spatula. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Cook's note: The more butter you melt in the pan, the better!
