Ingredients
  

2 slices of sourdough bread (or your choice of bread)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 medium-sized tomato, sliced (preferably heirloom for flavor)

4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced

2 tablespoons pesto (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil or softened butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by slicing the avocado, tomato, and fresh mozzarella. Set them aside.

    Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, spread a thin layer of pesto. Layer on the avocado slices evenly, followed by the tomato slices, and then top with fresh mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper. If you like, add a few fresh basil leaves for added flavor.

      Close the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.

        Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or melt the butter over medium heat.

          Grill the Sandwich: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Then, gently flip the sandwich using a spatula.

            Melt the Cheese: Cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it is golden brown and the mozzarella has melted.

              Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut it in half if desired, and serve hot. Garnish with extra basil leaves if you wish.
