pesto panini
Basil-sauced pressed bread
A pesto panini is a grilled Italian sandwich featuring pesto—the basil, pine nut, and Parmesan sauce—as a primary ingredient.
The bread is pressed and toasted, creating characteristic grill marks and a crisp exterior.
Typical additions include mozzarella, tomatoes, or chicken: I grabbed a pesto panini from the café.
