2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto

2 slices mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Spread a generous layer of sun-dried tomato pesto evenly on one side of each bread slice.
02 -
Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on the pesto-covered side of one bread slice, then top with the second slice, pesto side down.
03 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter until sizzling.

Using room temperature butter aids in even spreading and optimal browning. For a crispier crust, consider using a panini press. Allow medium heat to fully melt cheese without burning the bread.
