Description
Elevate your classic grilled cheese sandwich with layers of gooey cheese and vibrant pesto for a flavor-packed delight, perfect for any quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread (your choice: sourdough, whole grain, or white)
- 1–2 slices of cheese (mozzarella or cheddar recommended)
- 2 tablespoons pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Spread a generous layer of pesto sauce on one side of each slice of bread.
- On one slice, layer your cheese, ensuring it’s nestled right against the pesto side. Top it with the second slice of bread, pesto side facing in.
- Butter the outer sides of both slices of bread.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Carefully slice the sandwich and serve warm.
Notes
For the best flavor, try using herb-infused butter or olive oil. Pair with tomato soup for a comforting meal.
