Ingredients
- 4teaspoons prepared pesto
- 4slices country white, sliced sandwich bread
- 4ounces sliced, low-moisture mozzarella
- 6/8 grape tomatoes, halved
- melted butter or olive oil for brushing
Preparation
- Spread 1 teaspoon of pesto on each of the 4
- slices of bread, leaving at least a ½-inch border
- around the edges. Divide the mozzarella between
- two of the bread slices, making sure to keep the
- border. Layer with 3 or 4 grape tomato halves
- and top with the remaining two bread slices,
- pesto side down.
- Preheat the Cuisinart® Sandwich Maker. Lightly
- brush plates with melted butter or oil. Carefully
- place the assembled sandwiches onto the
- preheated Sandwich Maker. Use firm pressure
- to close lid; lock and cook. Green indicator light
- will go off and red light will come on (this may
- not happen immediately). When green indicator
- light reappears, sandwich is cooked. Add 15 to
- 30 seconds additional cooking time if a toastier
- sandwich is preferred. Remove with a heatproof
- silicone spatula. Allow sandwich to cool slightly
- for 2 to 3 minutes before serving, as filling will be
- very hot.
