Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and form 8 flat patties. In a pan, cook in hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Just before finishing, place a slice of mozzarella on each patty. Spread four bread slices with pesto and layer alternately with burger patties and tomato slices, seasoning tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Finally sprinkle basil and add the remaining bread slices on top or underneath.
