Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 1 ball Fresh Burrata Look for heavy balls packed in water or whey for freshness.
  • 2 slices Bread (e.g., sourdough, ciabatta) Choose a sturdy bread with a crispy crust.
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Use unsalted for precise flavor control.
  • 1 tablespoon Pesto (spinach pesto recommended) Adds flavorful depth; keep the layer thin.

Equipment

  • Non-Stick Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt, swirling to coat the skillet.
  3. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  4. Place one slice of bread buttered-side down in the skillet. Spread a thin layer of pesto on the unbuttered side.
  5. Tear the burrata into pieces and layer it over the pesto.
  6. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered-side up, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Carefully flip the sandwich, pressing slightly, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden and the cheese melts.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board, let it rest, then slice in half and serve immediately.
