"For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." - Scorcese after eating a caprese sandwich, probably.

Directions
Heat a skillet* over medium-low heat. Spread the softened butter on the outside of both slices of bread.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the basil pesto on one side of each slice of bread.
On one slice of bread, layer half of the mozzarella cheese slices, then the tomato slices, fresh basil leaves, and the remaining mozzarella. Top with the other slice of bread, pesto side down.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is toasted and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted
*If you're using a panini press heat your machine to medium-high and cook until cheese is melted
