Sisters Sandwich

I really enjoyed this sandwich, and so did B.  I really like sandwiches for lunch/supper in the summer, it's just easy and typically pretty minimal.  This one was easy enough that I was even able to make it in the morning before work...and I move pretty slow in the mornings.

Sisters Sandwich

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pesto
• 1loaf ciabatta bread, halved crosswise and lengthwise
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced thin and salted
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
• 8 slices thick-cut fried bacon (optional)

Directions

1. Heat skillet or griddle to medium-low.
2. Spread pesto over all 4 bread slices. 
3. Top each with tomatoes, cheese, and bacon.
4. Top sandwiches and place on warm griddle.  Weight them down (I laid a glass cutting board on top, then placed my crock pot on top of it, full with cans).
5. Cook until bread is crisp and golden.
6. Serve.

My Changes

• My grocery store's bakery didn't have ciabatta bread, so I used something called Shepard's bread (basically just a thick round loaf).  While I'm sure ciabatta would be good, I think any bread can be substituted if needed.
• I this this could have been a little meatier, I think the addition of chicken or ham would really kick this up a notch.  But overall it was simple & tasty- no complaints.
