Grilled Cheese with Tomato and Pesto
Grilled cheese sandwiches are a classic comfort food, but adding in tomatoes and pesto elevates it to a whole new level.
Ingredients
- Bread I used white, but the original recipe uses sourdough which I bet is scrumptious
- Mozzarella cheese that you can slice to desired thickness
- Ripe Tomatoes
- Pesto sauce I used store bought for convenience, but this link has a recipe
- Salt and pepper
- Light Olive oil
- Turkey optional
Instructions
- Drizzle a frying pan or panini press with olive oil or butter.
- While that is warming up, spread one side of each sandwich with pesto.
- Slice cheese and tomatoes to desired thickness, and add to the sandwich.
- Top with salt and pepper, and a second slice of bread, and you are ready to “grill.”
- I just used my all purpose skillet and pressed the sandwiches down with a lid. (Make sure to get olive oil or butter on both sides of the sandwich)
- Lightly toast on both sides over medium heat until the cheese gets all nice and melted.
- I also tried one with turkey in it, and it was awesome!
