Directions

Step 1
Spread butter on one side of a slice of bread and place it, buttered side down, into a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2
Spread 1/2 of the pesto sauce on the unbuttered side of the bread. Stack provolone cheese, tomato, and American cheese on top of pesto, in that order.

Step 3
Spread remaining pesto sauce on second slice of bread. Place it pesto side down onto sandwich in the pan. Butter the top side of bread.

Step 4
Gently fry sandwich, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.
