Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 slices slices of bread (your choice, but sourdough is classic)
  • 2 slices slices of cheese (mozzarella or cheddar work wonders)
  • 2 tablespoons tablespoons of pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  • as needed Butter (for that golden crispiness)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread pesto and place the cheese on top.
  3. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwich until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

Serve with crunchy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet.
