Filippo Berio Classic Pesto
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices of bread of choice (about 1/2-inches thick)
  • 4 tbsp Filippo Berio Classic Pesto
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 150g fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp Filippo Berio Olive Oil

Method:

  1. Brush one side of each slice of bread with pesto. Layer avocado and mozzarella over half of the slices; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with remaining bread. Brush outside of sandwiches with oil.
  1. Heat large skillet (or toastie maker) over medium-low heat; cook sandwiches, in batches if needed, for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Cooks tips:

This sandwich is just as delicious made with Filippo Berio Sundried Tomato Pesto.
Add a pinch of hot pepper flakes to the sandwich for a spicy addition.
