Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 slices good-quality bread sourdough or artisanal works best
For the Filling
  • 1 ball burrata cheese fresh for the best texture
  • 2 tablespoons spinach pesto spread thinly to avoid sogginess
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon butter for toasting the bread

Equipment

  • medium skillet
  • spatula
  • cutting board

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather your equipment: a medium skillet, a spatula, and a sturdy cutting board. Begin heating the skillet over medium heat. Let the burrata cheese come to room temperature.
  2. Evenly spread a generous layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Place a slice of the buttered bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Spread a thin layer of spinach pesto, then add pieces of burrata cheese.
  4. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up. Press down gently with a spatula.
  5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Once both sides are golden and crisp, remove from skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing in half.
