Tomato Basil Mozzarella Grilled Cheese

Steps

  1. Lay the tomato slices on a paper towel, sprinkle with salt and pepper and let them sit a few minutes. Pat dry so the sandwich doesn't get soggy.
  2. Butter one side of each bread slice. Flip two slices over, spread with pesto if using, and layer provolone, tomato, basil and mozzarella. Top with the other slices, butter side out.
  3. Cook in a covered nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until the bottoms are golden.
  4. Flip and cook uncovered until golden and the cheese is melted.
  5. Rest 1 minute, then slice and serve.
