Preheat your sandwich press.
Slice the mozzarella and tomato thinly.
Spread pesto on one side of the flatbread.
Place the tomato and mozzarella slices on top.
Season with a little salt and pepper.
Add some fresh basil if you like for extra flavor.
Fold the flatbread in half (or place a second one on top if they're small).
Brush the outside lightly with olive oil or butter; this helps it turn a nice golden brown.
Place the toastie in the sandwich press.
Cook for 4–5 minutes, until the outside is crispy and the cheese has melted.
Remove the toastie and let it rest briefly (about 1 minute).
Cut into wedges or halves.
