Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Spread pesto on both slices of bread and place them in the pan, pesto-side up. Add 2 slices of cheese to each piece of Cobblestone bread, followed by half of the prosciutto, and half of the arugula.

Lay the egg on top, and fold the two halves of bread together to make a sandwich. Grill until the cheese is melted, flipping once, being careful not to break the egg yolk. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients to make the second sandwich. Slice each sandwich in half with a serrated knife, and serve!
