Description

A warm, gooey Pesto Grilled Cheese sandwich that elevates the classic comfort food with fresh pesto and melty cheese.


Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • 2 slices of cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons of pesto
  • Butter or olive oil for grilling


Instructions

  1. Spread pesto on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Lay a slice of cheese on the non-pesto side of one slice of bread.
  3. Position the second slice of bread on top, with the pesto side facing out.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat, adding enough butter or oil to coat the pan.
  5. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Flip the sandwich and repeat on the other side until crispy and cheese is melted.
  7. Slice the sandwich in half and serve hot.

Notes

Best served immediately for maximum gooeyness. Pair with marinara sauce or a green salad.
