Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing two thick slices of sourdough bread in a cold frying pan. Spread a generous layer of butter on the top side of each slice.
- Flip the bread to have the buttered sides facing down. Layer 3-4 thin slices of mozzarella cheese evenly over each slice.
- Spread a heaped tablespoon of basil pesto over the mozzarella on both slices.
- Sprinkle some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and crispy bacon over the pesto if desired.
- Add another layer of mozzarella cheese over the toppings to enhance cheesiness.
- Carefully place a second slice of sourdough bread on top and press down gently.
- Spread butter generously on the top slice of bread before cooking.
- Heat your pan on medium heat and cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Flip the sandwich gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes until crispy.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it cool for a minute before cutting.

Notes
Pat the mozzarella dry to avoid sogginess. Use medium-low heat for best results. Store cooked sandwiches in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
