Preparation Steps
- In a food processor, pulse together garlic cloves and walnuts until finely chopped. Add basil leaves, vegetarian Parmesan, salt, and pepper. While blending, drizzle in olive oil until smooth.
- Slice tomatoes and mozzarella into even rounds. Arrange them on a platter with spinach. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic reduction, and sprinkle with seasonings.
- Spread pesto on one side of each ciabatta slice. Layer tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella on one slice, then top with the other slice, pesto side down.
- Grill or toast the sandwich on a skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Alternatively, cut into quarters for serving cold.

Notes
Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Pesto can be refrigerated for a week or frozen in small portions for long-lasting flavor.
