Scale
Bread:
- 6 tablespoons (90 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more as needed
- 8 slices white country bread, about 1/4 inch thick each
Filling:
- 5 small oil-packed anchovy fillets, minced (about 1/2 tablespoon)
- 3/4 pound (340 g) fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

- 4 ounces drained marinated artichoke hearts (140 g; about 2 whole hearts), very thinly sliced

Instructions
- Toasting the Bread: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Toast bread slices until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a work surface.
- Assembling the Sandwiches: Spread minced anchovy on half the toasts. Layer with mozzarella, pesto, artichokes, and mortadella. Close sandwiches.
- Grilling: Transfer sandwiches to a skillet and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

Notes
- You can customize these sandwiches by adding ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
