TOMATO, MOZZARELLA & PESTO PANINI
A delicious recipe from Ina Garten's cookbook, Barefoot Contessa at Home. If you don't have a panini press, that's okay, just place in a skillet with a heavy weight on top(foil covered brick, or heavy cast iron skillet, etc.) Enjoy!

Cook 2-3 minutes, turn and cook other side 1-3 minutes.).

- Note:.
- This is also excellent with a slice of roasted red bell pepper in it!
