Caprese Panini

This is what I normally have for lunch. This and soup...normally tomato is the best, cause then you can dip your sandwich in the soup and go to town on that sucker. Anyway. All you need is:

1 Roma tomato
Pesto spread (basil)
Mozzarella cheese
2 slices of bread

Now here's the thing. I'm one of those crazy people where it really matter's what kind of everything you use..I like Roma tomatoes the best with this sandwich. I am also REALLY picky about my mozzarella cheese. I like my mozzarella cheese to be heavy cream based, soft and fresh. I also like like to use french bread or foccacia bread...but I also like to use that homemade bread..i think it's like Grandma's homemade or something..you can find it at the store. Anyway you can use whatever you want. I also like to saute up some mushrooms, cause sauteed mushrooms make everything better, or I'll fry up some bacon. It's basically a glorified grilled cheese sandwich. You can normally buy pesto spread at the grocery store. I like to get the fresh tub of it in the deli section, but it's your sandwich, you can do what you want. Or you can make it yourself.

On one side of the bread you spread the basil, on the other you spread butter and put it in the frying pan on med/hi heat. Put the cheese, tomatoes, and whatever else you want on there and wait till the cheese is melted and the other side of the bread is golden brown and delicious. Put together and enjoy.
