Ham And Pesto Panini - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 loaf Italian bread
1/4 cup pesto sauce
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tomatoes, sliced thinly
6 -8 slices black forest ham
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Slice the bread in half, vertically.
If your pesto is dry, drizzle the olive oil all over the bread (insides as well as out) and then spread the pesto all over the soft insides of the bread pieces. If your pesto is oily there's no need to add oil on the insides.
Then place the tomato slices on top of the pesto, and season with the salt and pepper.
Layer on the remaining ingredients and top with the top bread piece.
Heat your panini grill or frying pan and add the sandwich. If you're using a frying pan, use something weighted down to smush the sandwich while it heats.
Turn when the bread starts to turn a golden brown and cook until the cheeses are melted.
Remove from the heat and slice into sandwich sizes of your choice.
