- Preheat the grill to high heat, aiming for a temperature of around 550°F.
- Once the grill is preheated, place the sourdough bread on the grill, oil side down. Press lightly on the top of each piece with tongs or a spatula to ensure even grilling. Grill for about 2 minutes or until the bread is lightly toasted with grill marks.
- Carefully remove the grilled bread from the grill and spread a generous layer of pesto on each slice. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, then top with the sliced mozzarella cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, pepper, and a pinch of flaky salt.2 tablespoons basil pesto, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 16 ounces mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup fresh basil, Fresh cracked black pepper, Flaky salt, balsamic glaze

Notes
- Use thick-cut sourdough: Thin slices can get soggy or fall apart under the toppings—sturdy bread is key.
- Grill quickly and watch closely: Bread can burn fast on high heat. Stick to 1–2 minutes and don’t walk away.
