Description
A comforting sandwich that combines melted cheese and vibrant pesto between golden, buttery bread for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread (sourdough, country loaf, or your favorite)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)
Instructions
- Spread pesto on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place shredded cheese between the slices of bread, pesto sides facing inward.
- Lightly butter the outside of both slices of bread or brush with olive oil.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the skillet.
- Grill until golden brown and cheese has melted, about 3–4 minutes per side. Press slightly with a spatula for even browning.
- Remove from heat, let rest for 30 seconds, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Adjust ingredients for personal preferences. Use olive oil for a lighter version or swap cheese for vegan options for a dairy-free sandwich.
