Toast with Goat Cheese and Rosso Basil Pesto

Prepare the ingredients. This is what will be on your plate — prepare the ingredients in advance so the work goes smoothly 🥪🍅

Slice the tomatoes. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into slices about 0.5 cm thick so they don't release too much juice while grilling.

Slice the cheese. Cut the cheese into even slices so it melts nicely in the sandwich.

Spread the bread with pesto. Evenly spread the basil pesto over both slices of bread up to the edges.

Assemble the sandwich. On one slice of bread arrange the tomato slices, add the ham, and top with the slices of goat cheese. Cover with the other slice of bread, pesto side down.

Pan-fry the sandwich. Heat a little oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich and grill for about 2 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden and crispy. After grilling, let the sandwich rest under a lid for about a minute so the cheese melds together.

Cut and serve. Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately 🧀🥪
