Ingredients
  

  • Butter
  • 8 Slices of bread crusty sliced italian, sandwich bread or gf bread
  • 1/2 cup Basil pesto
  • 8 Thin slices of prosciutto
  • 8 oz Shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat up a large frying pan on the stovetop.
  • You can either butter your bread or drizzle olive oil into pan.
  • Buid your sandwich, butter one side of bread then flip to unbuttered side and spread a bit of pesto to cover the bread. Next add thin slices of prosciutto followed by shredded mozzarella cheese. Place other slice of bread on top and butter.
  • Gently place bread onto hot frying pan and cover pan with lid. This helps melt the cheese quicker. Once one side of bread is browned, flip to other side and do the same. Once both sides are browned and cheese is melted remove from pan and enjoy.
