Ingredients:

¼ cup prepared basil pesto sauce, divided
1 loaf (8 to 10 ounces) focaccia bread, cut horizontally in half
4 ounces smoked mozzarella or provolone cheese, sliced 1/8 to ¼ inch thick

Spread remaining 2 tablespoons pesto evenly over cut sides of bread; top each half evenly with cheese. Place on metal baking sheet.
