Welcome to my new food obsession caprese salad turned grilled cheese.  I've been having this every day.  I can't stop it's so easy and good!  I make this every this all the time in early fall when our garden is full of so many tomatoes I don't know what to do with them, and lots and lots of basil.

Pasture raised butter at room temperature

2. Place a slice of mozzarella on one slice of bread on top of the pesto (one slice per sandwich)
3. Place a slice of tomato on top of the mozzarella and sprinkle salt, freshly ground pepper, and garlic powder
4. place the other piece of bread on top of the other piece of bread (with mozzarella and tomato) and put onto the cast iron skillet
