Take a small dish and pour some olive oil into it. Melt the butter and add it to the dish with olive oil and mix up. Brush on the outside of the slices of bread.
On the inside of one slice of bread, spread some basil pesto on them and set it carefully on a dish. Add a slice of tomato, a couple of leaves of basil and sprinkle it with some sea salt and pepper. Now put a piece of Mozzarella on top of that. Take the 2nd slice of bread and smear it with some pesto and put it pesto side down on top of the Mozzarella.
Now flip the sandwich over in the olive oil, so both sides are coated with butter/olive oil.
Now using a griddle or a pan on the stove, grill each side until golden brown and cheese appears melted. It took me about 2-3 minutes and then I flipped it for an additional 2-3 minutes. About 5-6 minutes total.
