- 1 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (or Romano)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make
-
Step 1: Toast pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Combine pesto ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well combined but still rough-textured.
-
Step 2: If using a panini press turn it on to preheat. If using a cast iron pan place on medium to preheat.
-
Step 3: Spread one side of the bread with pesto and place tomato slices on two slices of bread.
-
Step 4: Salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 5: Layer the cheeses on top of the tomato and place another slice on top to make a sandwich.
-
Step 6: Drizzle olive oil in pan/griddle and brush tops with olive oil and place the sandwich in the panini press or hot skillet (If using a skillet, place another skillet on top to press down).
-
Step 7: Cook for 2 to 3 minutes then turn over (replace skillet if not using panini press). Sandwich is done when golden brown and the cheese is melted.
