Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 to 3 ounces of burrata cheese
- 3 tablespoons spinach pesto
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter once it is warm. Allow the butter to melt completely and spread it around the pan to ensure even coverage.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place a slice of bread into the pan. Spread the spinach pesto evenly on top of the bread. Break up the burrata cheese into pieces and distribute them over the pesto. Top with the second slice of bread.
- Cook the Sandwich: Cook the sandwich until the bread turns a dark golden color, then carefully flip it. Continue cooking until the other side is golden and the burrata inside is warm and melty.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sandwich from the pan once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted. Slice it for easy handling and serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, flavorful melt.
Notes
- Use a non-stick or cast-iron skillet for best results to avoid sticking.
- Adjust the amount of burrata cheese based on your preference for creaminess.
- Spinach pesto can be substituted with basil pesto for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with a side salad or tomato soup for a complete meal.
