Description

A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, combining gooey cheese and aromatic pesto for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • 2 slices of cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 1 tablespoon butter


Instructions

  1. Spread pesto on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Place a slice of cheese on the non-pesto side of one slice of bread.
  3. Top with the second slice of bread, pesto side down.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter.
  5. Once melted, add the sandwich to the skillet.
  6. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, then flip.
  7. Cook the other side until the cheese melts and the bread browns.
  8. Remove from skillet, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs or sliced tomatoes. Use a lid while cooking to melt the cheese evenly.
