Caprese Paninis

This is my favorite way to make these sandwiches! Soooo good! and fast The photo shows a sandwich before it is pressed and all warm and melty!

1 baquette
bottle of basil pesto (from grocery store)
tomato
fresh mozzarella (the kind that is in a ball and packed in water)

Slather the roll with pesto, then add the tomato and a thick slice of the cheese.
Brush the roll with a little olive oil on both sides and press with the panini maker (or a wrapped brick)

Caprese Sandwiches

1 loaf ciabatta bread
1 small jar basil pesto or make your own
2 large tomatoes (fresh from the garden has the most flavor)
1 pkg. mozzarella slices

*Cut loaf of bread in 3 inch sections and then cut those in half. Place on cookie sheet, face up. Spread pesto on each slice of bread. Place 2 slices of tomato and some mozzarella on top. Broil in oven until cheese is melted and gets a little golden.

*The original recipe says to make these into sandwiches, with bread on top, and then grill them in a pan with a little olive oil, like a grilled cheese. You can place a heavy pan on the sandwich while grilling to make it flatter or use a panini maker.
