For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a smear of balsamic glaze to the bread before adding the pesto. If you don't have a panini press, you can cook these in a skillet. Place the sandwich in the skillet, press down with a spatula, and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, flipping halfway through. Fresh mozzarella can be substituted for provolone. Consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
