Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan, swirling to coat, then butter one side of the bread.
Spread a generous layer of spinach pesto over the bread in the skillet.
Tear the burrata into chunks and place on top of the spinach pesto.
Butter the outer side of a second slice of bread and place it on top.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip carefully.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the burrata is melted.
