- Turn eggs to cook both sides.
- Spread about 2 teaspoons pesto sauce on one side of each slice of bread.

- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Top with another half-slice of bread, pesto side facing tomato.

- Hint: Panini are equally delicious cooked over medium heat in nonstick skillet until lightly browned on each side.
