METHOD
- On each slice of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of mayo to coat the surface. This will be the ‘outsides’ of your sandwich which will come in contact with the pan.
- Flip it over and spread ½ tablespoon of mustard and pesto on the insides to coat evenly.
- Place one slice of bread, mayo-side down onto a heated pan (medium-low heat). Then, place some cheese and sprinkle some black pepper on top. Top off with the other slice of bread, mustard-side down.
- Press down slightly on the sandwich to help the cheese melt evenly.
- Once the base is golden brown, flip and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately alongside a tomato salad, pickled vegetables or tomato soup!
