P. P. (Pesto Panini) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 slices French bread
    1 teaspoon pesto sauce (homemade, preferably!)
    1 teaspoon mayonnaise
    1/2 roma tomato, sliced
    1 slice swiss cheese
    2 slices ham, Black Forest works well
    olive oil, a thin layer on outside of each bread slice
Preparation
    Preheat the panini press.
    Coat one side of each bread slice with olive oil. This will help prevent the sandwich from sticking to the press/grill.
    Mix the mayonnaise with the pesto and spread on the other side of each bread slice. (I admit to adding an extra teaspoon of pesto!) On that, layer the remainder in the following order: Swiss, tomato, ham.
    Close sandwich, making sure the oiled side is facing outward, pop it in the panini press, close, count to 240... or thereabouts... and EAT!
